Comprising a slender cutting edge and a long tang. 123 grams, 29.3 cm
Acquired 1960s-1990s. Late Alison Barker collection, a retired London barrister.
From the documentary evidence, the dagger was not a weapon in widespread use. In some sources, daggers are called handsets, presumably originating from the Anglo-Saxon scramasaxes, implying that they were a single-bladed knife rather than a dual-bladed dagger. It is unclear whether such daggers were primarily intended for military or civilian functions; although they may have been used in both, their primary uses were likely to be civilian. -
