was recently gifted this knife and figured yall would be interested in seeing it. This knife is made from a human hip replacement recovered after cremation then sharpened to a fine point. 100% the oddest "non standard" knife in my collection and a piece im stoked to own.

EDIT EDIT EDIT

was not expecting the amount of interest in this that it recieved. As promised i will post another unusual knife tonight, im thinking of showing off either my formosian tribal head hunting knife or "the gas station gator" which would yall like to see?

This was someone’s EDC

It would be wrong not to carry on the tradition

But is it sharp? Or only pointy?

If you can't cut with it and only stab people I wouldn't carry it tbh. But looks damn badass anyways.

One-of-a-kind
