Description: | A cast copper-alloy late medieval or post-medieval knife stop. The top has a sub-rectangular apperture for the tang of the blade. Slight traces of ferrous corrosion remains around this opening. The stop is asymmetrical with a projecting 'beak' on one edge. The other edge has a small projection of ferrous material protruding, presumably from the blade tang. The end of the stop terminates in a rounded terminal with three grooves in it, and in the centre of the middle groove there is a small lozenge shaped ridge. The stop measures 14.42 mm long, 16.73 mm wide, 8.62 mm thick. It weighs 9.0 grams.
