Description: | An incomplete Post-Medieval to modern iron scale-tang knife, missing part of the blade and one of its handle scales. There are two in-situ rivets through the tang (the longest being 14.7mm) to hold in place the (probably) bone scale, most of which survives. The tang and the blade are integrally attached by a short solid bolster c.7mm thick. The blade itself is short and triangular in shape, with the tip missing. It measures 60x(max)25xmm.The knife is slightly bent and measures 120.49x25.03mm. It weighs 30.52g.Scale tang knifes were made from the late medieval period onwards, and the lack of decoration on this example means a broad 1500-1900date is suggested.
