An incomplete iron object, possibly the tip of a knife blade of uncertain date. The object has a truncated triangular section and such it is clear if the narrower edges a corroded cutting edge of whether it was originally blunt. The 'cutting edge' is straight with a pointed tip. The back edge rises from the tip before angle to run parallel to the blade, ending in a break. THe object has a length of 57mm, a maximum width of 22mm and a thickness of 8mm.

A copper-alloy fragment of a probable knife handle of an unknonw date. It consists of a slightly faceted shaft, which has both ends covered by iron corrosion products; one end shows a broken rectangular cross-sectioned iron element inserted into the shaft, while the opposite end might have had the remains of the blade, now covered by corrosions. No parallels have been found. Length: 49.71 mm Width: 18.36 mm Thickness: 16.62 mm Weight: 47.37 g

An undated, incomplete unidentifiable artefact, possibly a knife terminal. It measures 21.42mm in length, at maximum width measures 10.15mm and weighs 4.5g. The artefact has a broadly square top with a conical projection from one side- 6.46mm in height and 10.15mm in width. There are two dished ovals, on opposite sides, of the square before the conical projection. The artefact may be zoomorphic, these dished ovals may be eyes and the conical projection a snout or beak. Under the conical projection is dark brown in colour, whilst the majority of this top is greenish grey in colour. …

An incomplete copper-alloy and iron knife handle of uncertain date. The handle is broadly rectangular, tapering from the blade (at this point it is 27.25mm wide) towards the base which has two cylindrical projections (6.25mm in length, 8.6mm wide, 7.9mm thick) located 20mm above the base of the handle. From the projections to the base the handle tapers (from 17.3mm to 8.85mm wide). A circumferential ridge is located at the point the handle meets the blade, three further ridges are located along the length of the handle broadly equidistant to each other. The handle is octagonal in cros…

Incomplete post-medieval or recent copper alloy knife comprising a slightly bent blade, with the tip missing and with the stump of a tang. Both the back and the cutting edge are curved. The proximal part of the back is straight, while the distal half curves downwards before sweeping up to the tip. Most of the cutting edge is hollowed before similarly curving upwards. Both faces are engraved with a branch flanked by leaves. The stump of the tang is circular (diameter 4.5 - 5mm). This object must have had some specialised function (e.g. cutting paper or fruit) but no parallel has been n…

A possible knife of unknown date. It is a rectangular sectioned plate, broken at both ends and very corroded. The original shape is difficult to establish. This object was found on Towton Battlefield, so it has been recorded in case it is a Medieval object from the battle of 1461.

A possible iron knife blade of unknown date. The object is sub triangular in plan and flat in section; it is very corroded and its exact shape and features are now obscured. One side of the blade is thicker than the other indicating it is a single sided knife blade rather than a doubled edged dagger. Length: 117.7mm; Width: 23.4mm; Thickness: 2.5mm; Weight: 19.47g

Undated iron knife handle, 54mm long, 17mm wide and 13mm thick. The object is in fair condition and weighs 29.37grams. The object is rectangular in form and section with a small portion having a sub-circular in section. The object is mostly formed of a flat plate which has a rounded end and a single circular sectioned rivet just below. Just under half of the surface is swollen to a sub-circular section before narrowing back to a flat plate, where the object has snapped. It appears to be the central section of a knife, with one end originally being covered by a handle and the othe…

An incomplete iron object, possibly a very corroded fragment from a whittle and tang knife of uncertain date. It is flat, tapering towards one end to produce a triangular form. At the widest end of the triangle there appears to be a terminal end separated from the main plate by semi-circular notches to either side of the object, from which extends the heavily corroded terminal, perhaps formed from two prongs although this remains uncertain due to damage to the object. It measures 94.88mm in total length, 13.97mm in width/height, 3.27mm in thickness, and weighs 8.31g. This is probably a…

A incomplete iron whittle-tanged knife. Length: 22.7cm; width: 5.5cm; thickness: 7.1mm (tang); mass: 144.2g. Triangular sectioned blade. The knife has a cutting edge which rises to meet the back which is angled slightly down. The blade is missing its tip and there has been some loss of material from the cutting edge. The tang tapers to a point. The knife has a heavily pitted grey surface which has been extensively cleaned to remove much of the corrosion. Dating is difficult. Whittle-tang knives were used in the medieval and post-medieval periods (e.g. see Margeson, “Norwich …

Fragment of an iron whittle tang knife blade. The fragment is concreted and worn, making the original width of the blade hard to determine. The tang is oval insection at the handle end, and widens to become more rectangular in section where it meets the blade at its central point. A short section of blade remains. The blade may be lozenge shape in section (suggesting a double-edged blade) but this is difficult to determine.

A crude copper-alloy handle, probably for a knife or another bladed implement. The handle has no regularity of form, tapering, expanding, and tapering again to its terminal. A groove runs down one side of the handle within which traces of ferrous corrosion remain. At the blade end a large amount of ferrous corrosion indicates where the blade protruded from the handle, and an iron rivet remains which would have held the blade in place. It is possible that the rivet is actually a pivet, allowing the blade to fold back into the groove of the handle. The crude nature of the handle and the …
