XIX.—Note on an Anglo-Saxon Knife, found in Kent, bearing an Inscription
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 January 2012
Extract
By the kindness of Mr. Edward Lloyd of the Winns, Walthamstow, I am enabled to exhibit a very remarkable Anglo-Saxon knife lately found in excavating for the foundations of a house which he is building at Sittingbourne, Kent.
In general form the knife is of a well-known type, and closely resembles one found in Lad Lane in the city of London, and engraved by Mr. C. Roach Smith in his Collectanea Antiqua. The total length is 12¾ inches, and the extreme breadth 1⅜ inch. The tang for insertion in the handle is 3½ inches long, and there is a shoulder at its junction with the blade both at the back and the edge.
