Steel and Bone or Antler. Penknife fragment. Sawn bone or antler plate of bowed form with flat sawn ends and a steel plate riveted behind it from which a corroded steel lug projects. A long bowed plaque is set centrally into the plate, and additional rivet holes of diameter 1.8mm occur towards either end; these bear copper staining indicating copper alloy rivets were placed here. This object is from one side of a folding penknife, and would probably have had decorative metal ends with a similar plate on the other side of the knife. Suggested date: Modern, 1800-1900. Length: 50.1mm…

Steel, ?Ivory and Copper alloy Penknife. A pair of opposed blades retained between plates of ferrous metal with a pair of plano-convex plates of ivory or bone, now degraded, attached by four copper alloy rivets of diameter 2mm at their ends, and with curved copper alloy ends similarly attached. A further sprung steel plate retains the blades and would maintain tension when the knife was open. A thin strip of bone or antler is attached to the side plate on one side, and may represent a repair. Suggested date: Modern, 1850-1900. Length: 89mm, Width (with corrosion): 33mm, Thickness:…

Copper alloy and iron penknife fragment. A small fragment of the corroded blade or blades of a penknife together with a pressed metal copper alloy terminal to its handle; and, probably, a thin sheet metal plate which would confine the blade when the knife was folded.

Steel and bone penknife. A folding pocket knife with at least two blades confined between metal plates with outer round-ended flat handle plates of polished bone attached by three rivets on either side. The corrosion of the blades and inner fittings is beginning to promote the 'explosion' of the object as its halves are forced apart. Suggested date: Modern, 1900-1940. Length: 87mm, Width: 17.6mm, Thickness: 9.0mm, Weight: 29.06gms.

Iron and copper alloy penknife fragment. Two iron blades and possibly another implement for a folding knife, retained between fragmentary flat plain copper alloy side plates of thickness 0.7mm by long rivets – whether one or two is now uncertain. A flat oval plate with faint traces of cross-hatching marks the end of the knife handle. Side plates of bone or ivory would have been secured outside the copper plates which remain and would have butted up to the end plate. The object has been exploded by the expansion of its corroding iron blades. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1800-190…
