Description: | The incomplete carved bone handle and part of the wrought iron blade of a knife of probable early post-medieval date. The surviving portion measures 106mm by 18.1mm by 11.1mm and weighs 25.3g. A short length of the narrow tapering blade survives. The handle is rivetted onto the tang using three iron rivets. It is made from two matching bone panels, both of which have been carved to define three sections. The section adjacent to the blade is in the form of a tapering quadrangle, the central section is tear drop-shaped and the third is cuvilinear with a rounded end. At the end of the handle there is a projecting knop.
