Description

Y-shaped iron dagger with a thin wrapped handle. Dagger has a long tapered blade, which changes angles towards the tip, coming to a point. The back of the blade is flat. The narrow handle is wrapped with a thin strip of leather, and splits at the hilt creating the overall Y-shape.

Narrative

This type of knife typically has this form of blade with a flat groove down the middle, and the 'antennae'-like end. The narrow handle is wrapped to thicken it. Created from a larger blade.
