Abstract: The Knoop indenter has been used to characterise fully the Knoop microhardness (H(K)) anisotropy of compact bone. 2120 indentations were performed on mature ovine radii and a linear relationship was found between H(K) and the angle between the major diagonal of the indenter and the lamella boundaries (p<
