The object has a short tang, which increases in depth slightly towards the blade. The back of the knife is flat and at the same level as the tang, whilst the underside meets the tang at an angle of approximateley forty-five degrees before angling back to form the short cutting edge.
Overall, the piece measures 57.1mm long by 19.8mm high and 4.2mm thick. It weighs 15g. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1
