You could be right but that would mean it would have to be a fixed blade... and I would say the evidence is inconclusive at this point...
"The clasp contains a vertical slot for the knife on the reverse. This slot contains a small amount of iron corrosion."
This may or may not be actual remains of a blade but could be contamination from another source?

Given the numbers and variety it perhaps would not be unexpected to find incomplete examples?

"And the four bare walls stand on the seashore. a wreck a skeleton a monument of that instability and vicissitude to which all things human are subject. Not a dwelling within sight, and the farm labourer, and curious traveller, are the only persons that ever visit the scene where once so many thousands were congregated." T.Lewin 1867
