[Music] I’m sure this is probably many people’s first time seeing this knife Angel and while it does have a positive message it also kind of has a disturbing backstory this Tik Tok slideshow that I got tagged in shows several different photos of this very famous sculpture known as the knife Angel which is located in the UK as its name suggests the knife Angel is created almost entirely using knives and even though this sculpture is very haunting it does serve a purpose and provides a message in the UK back in 2014 knife violence was on the rise and increasingly becoming more prevalent in an effort to combat this the British Iron Work Center developed the idea of creating an angel made entirely out of knives that were confiscated from the public in total there are roughly 100,000 knives on this sculpture and some of them have even been used with bodily fluids on them as well of course they were sterilized though before being added

  1. It did a tour around the UK at one point. I live not far from a town centre and I walk through it with my dog very rarely, but we unknowingly went on a day it was on show. I was not prepared to turn a corner onto the main street and see this💀

  2. I’ve seen the knife angel at my moms and my dad’s house. It’s actually really interesting! At my mom’s it was on a school trip in primary! And at dads we saw it while shopping 🙂
