The aim of the study is to enlighten the circumstances of occurrence of knives with bone handle at the territory of Nitra in the 9th c. and to draw the attention to the insufficiency of them at the remaining regions of Slovakia. Results of some of the analysis suggested that these specimens belong to the more luxurious artefacts, which could have been used to show higher rank of individuals with considerable property. Real causes for restricted occurrence of such artefacts are not known. The cause of this may have been that other possibilities were also used for this purpose.
