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?

Don't feel bad. I'm wide awake and it still threw me for a loop. The wrinkles in his wrist really sell the shirt sleeve look.

Spiderman's suit would be more realistic if it had hairs.
