9th-11th century AD. Just over 6 5/8” length. Classic form with dropped point and straight back. Tapered tang for mounting to a grip without a guard. This example is distinguished by the thinness of the blade, which confirms that it is not a work knife but a weapon. It is made for the single purpose of delivering a slashing wound. A working knife or multipurpose knife would be minimal, twice this thickness. Professionally conserved excavated condition with excellent profile. On Plexiglas display stand with certificate of authenticity. This is a thousand-year-old Viking throat-slashing weapon.
