Long and slender riveted dagger with central rib, two rivet holes (only one rivet hole is preserved) and one rivet. There is some damage to the sides of the blade as well as the surface of the handle. The preserved rivet is approx. 1.5 cm long including the heads, which are approx. 1.3-1.5 cm wide. There are also two nails or pins not mentioned in the museum catalogue, one broken measuring approx. 2.7 cm and one that could have been part of a rivet measures approx. 1.5 cm. It is uncertain whether these two nails belong to the find. Dark green lustrous patina, partially removed at the tip which has been sharpened in modern times. There is some corrosion on both sides of the blade. Length: 22.3 cm. Width: 2.2 cm across the widest part of the blade. Photo: Ann Mari Olsen © University Museum in Bergen, CC BY-SA 4.0
