Knife blade
A relic of Sir John Franklin's last expedition 1845-1848. A knife blade with part of a horn handle attached by rivets, obtained from the Inuit at Repulse Bay in 1854 by the Rae Expedition. The Inuit said that they had found the material at a camp to the north west of the mouth of the Back River where a party of Europeans had died of starvation. The maker's name 'WIGFALL & CO CAST STEEL' is stamped on the blade.
