    I wasn't sure Scott.

    I suspect they did look at possibility , but for reasons I suggest discounted it.
    Of course you wouldn't have compare it at the Stride Inquest, but might at the Eddowes one, but it seems no one asked.
    At a full trial, it would I suspect have been mentioned.

    I think I may have misunderstood your question, i perhaps stupidly read it at fitst as why didnt the doctors compare it, sorry.

    if you are asking why I didn't evaluate it, call it an oversight on my part.
    The reason are in the previous post.
    I can add it to part two, as a question arising from part one.

    Fair question Scott, I have no definitive answer, however, i would speculate the following.

    The comments made by Phillips and Blackwell about it being unwieldy would still apply I believe.

    The rounded, blunted tip, would make it it very difficult to make the incisions required, while it could have made the stabs observed on the liver; the wound would very distinctive given the tip.

    I might also suspect that there would have been far deeper wounds than the ones that lead them to estimate length of the blade.
