VIKING SIDE KNIFE OR POUCH KNIFE, 866-1067 AD

Danelaw England. Just over 3” total length, wedge section, uniformly tapered to the symmetrical tip. Whittle tang with a securing pin for mounting in a wood, bone or antler grip without a guard. These small side knives were among the most treasured possessions for Vikings and it they, rather than the large seax with which they were buried. On scale with modern pocket knives, they are weapons, suitable for throat slashing as well as organ depth thrusting attacks. East Anglia was the landing place for Viking invaders. Virtually every old town in Cambridgeshire has a recorded Viking history. In 917, The Danish King was killed at The Battle of Tempsford in 917, and The Danes were repelled at Maldon in 991, to mention two. Excavated and professionally conserved.
