Description

Medieval Iron Knife with Bronze Pommel
Circa 1375-1400 A.D. Comprising a single cutting edge; scale tang with shaped pommel. See Marquardt, K., Eight Centuries of European Knives, Forks and Spoons: an Art Collection, Europe, 1997, for broad type and discussion. 65 grams, 22 cm (8 5/8 in.).

Acquired 1960s-1990s. Late Alison Barker collection, a retired London barrister.

Amongst the considerable variations in Medieval knife blade shapes, the two most obvious are the blades with angled backs (like here) and those with stepped backs.
