Description: | An iron corroded and worn whittle tang knife. This knife has a a worn blade, with a straight upper edge and a curved lower cutting edge. It measures 74mm in total length and 23mm in width. It has a bolster, that is an integral thickening of the iron between the blade and the tang, and beyond this is the tang which would have been inserted into the now missing handle. The presence of the bolster dates this knife to the mid 16th-17th centuries as it was an innovation in hafting introduced about the middle of the 16th century (Margeson 1993, 130-131, fig 96).
