Medieval or post-medieval iron whittle-tang knife blade with an incomplete tang. The back is flat, and the former cutting edge tends to taper gently and generally in a straight line, disregarding several irregular serrations, from the hilt to about ten millimetres before the extant tip. From there it tapers more steeply and convexly to meet the back edge. The serrations seem to be a consequence of corrosion and fragmentation rather than an intentional feature. The tang is broadly rectangular in cross-section and projects from the blade close to the back edge. It tapers in width a…
