Description: | An incomplete iron knife of Early Medieval date, c. 450-600.The knife consists of the majority of the blade and the base of the tang. The blade is sub-triangular in planview and section, with a single edge. The tang (17.34mm in width) emerges from the base of the blade near the back edge of the blade, with the edge of the blade projecting approximately 12mm further out from the tang. The blade edge gently curves back toward the now-missing point. The rear edge of the blade starts in a straight line from the tang, but then bends inward toward the now-missing point.The whole blade is covered in iron corrosion, though the tapered edge can be seen in section, and there is a slight bend in the blade so that it appears slightly convex in profile.
