Description: | A copper alloy knife fitting, dating to the post-medieval period. The knife fitting is rectangular in plan and has a soft hexagonal cross section. It would have fitted just above the iron knife blade, at the base of the handle. Some of the iron blade is retained. There is a smaller rectangular hole on the top side of the knife fitting, from which would have protruded the tang of the blade, which would have run up through the handle to the knife's end cap. This is probably the fitting from a scale tang knife, dating to the 16th century AD.
