Knives represent one of the most informative categories of iron finds. During archaeological investigations on the Zhitny excavation site in Pereyaslavl Ryazansky, more than two hundred specimens of knives and related artifacts (grips, carrying slots, sheaths, etc.) were found. Typological, structural as well as structural and raw material analyses of products allowed the author to trace changes in the design and manufacturing technology of knives for an extended period.
