Abstract: |
An Iron Age ferrous knife was examined by metallography to determine the metal structure. A sample through the cutting edge of the blade revealed uniform low-carbon iron comprising mainly ferrite and grain-boundary cementite. Hardness was 236 HV. The blade had not been deliberately hardened. |
