Ballock Knife

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a Ballock Knife by artist unknown. The knife has a handle that is wider at the top, tapering down to a narrower middle section, with two decorative spheres on either side. The handle appears to be made of metal and has a brown color with visible rust or corrosion. The blade is long and narrow, tapering to a point at the end, with a darker color than the handle and also appears to be made of metal with visible rust or corrosion. The background of the image is a plain gray color.
