I believe they come from the hock joint (what would be the ankle in a human) of the hind leg of a sheep or lamb. My butcher tells me that they are often left behind when the animal is skinned, hence not readily accessible in his shop. He has his own sheep and has offered to save the knucklebones for me when next he slaughters any. I want to teach my grand-daughter how to play the game that I enjoyed as a child.
