Clasp Knife Blade

Blade from a clasp knife (MS2-2608) recovered at historic Fort Michilimackinac (20EM52), a part of the Michigan State University Museum's Archaeology Teaching Collection. Made out of metal and accompanied by a wood, metal, or bone handle (see annotation for a complete example), clasp knifes were common trade items during the North American Fur Trade and functioned as multi-purpose cutting tools, similar to modern pocket knifes. The blade folds into the handle for safety and easy transport. Dimensions: approximately 13.5cm L x 2cm W x 0.2cm T, weight= 17.9g This 3D model was created by Jeff Painter using an Artec Space Spider and Artec Studio 14 Professional, in partnership with the MSU Digital Heritage Imaging and Innovation (DHI) Lab.
