Description: | An iron probable knife of Post Medieval to modern date. It has a whittle tang which is square in section and tapers from a square stop to the broken end. Between the stop and the blade is a thin neck of rectangular section which then flares to form the shoulders of the blade. The end of the blade is broken and rounded. It is not certain whether this is a knife or another tanged tool, though it does not appear to be a chisel. The iron is very delicate and is flaking. The style of tang and tapering square stop can be seen on 17th century tools such as 789 (a graver) on page 149 of Egan 2005.
