New knife find from Vindolanda
#7
Quote:Do not think that notch is intentional. If it is, it is the first one I have EVER seen on a Roman knife, and believe me, I have seen a LOT! Could just be corrosion. When handling these knives, index finger is on the top of the blade.

Noticed that too it looks to me as though its intentional as it is very even... nice piece but the handles not unusual.

"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
