Ballock Knife

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Ballock Knife by unknown artist. The object is a knife with a long, thin, dark-colored blade and a wooden handle. The blade is pointed at the tip and has a rough, textured surface. It is mostly dark brown with some lighter brown and gray areas, possibly due to rust or corrosion. The handle is made of light-colored wood with darker stripes. It is cylindrical in shape and has a small metal piece at the end. The handle is attached to the blade with a small piece of metal that looks like a rivet. The background of the image is a plain gray color.
