Description: | A fragment of a Medieval iron knife .The knife has a whittle tang which narrows from both sides, projecting 10.6mm from the blade before terminating in an old break. The back shoulder is a sharp 90 degree angle whereas the front shoulder is a more sloping 45 angle. The blade is 40.34m long and has a pronounced triangular section which is 10.4mm at the back edge and 8.3mm at the front. This cross section and the shape of the tang are similar to those illustrated by Cowgill (1987 p 81 No 26-28) which are dated from the late 13th centaury. The fragment is 52.8mm long, 21.1m wide. 9.8mm thick and weighs 20.88g.
