Description: | An incomplete Medieval iron knife dating late 13th - 15th century. This single-edged knife has a whittle tang and the blade has a triangular cross-section. Only a small section of the blade and the tang are surviving; the end of the blade is broken and missing. There may be a maker's mark stamped into the blade on the left hand side near the back of the blade, at the tang end. The corrosion is obscuring the detail but the stamp may be circular and similar to nos 51, 104, 164, 176 (Cowgill, de Neergaard & Griffiths 1987:21) which are either flowers or stars.Dimensions: length: 77.24mm; width: 14.41mm; thickness: 7.26mm; weight: 13.05g.Reference: Cowgill, J. de Neergaard, M. and Griffiths, N. 1987. Knives and Scabbards. HMSO: London
