Camp Knife, Iron Blade, ca. 1st-2nd Cent AD

Iron Blade; 90mm/30.7gm - with hilt; 19 CM/50.7gm

Con/ about As Forged; This single-edged iron blade has been preserved to prevent any further rusting and, considering its age, is in fantastic condition! The wooden hilt is modern. See the final photo for the 'as received' condition of the iron blade.

Seller's Note/ For Roman soldiers, camp knives such as this were a 'must have' for multiple reasons as you may surmise...from cleaning their fingernails to skinning and fleshing animals for food, etc..
