FORWARD

In the wake of the September 11, 2001, airline hijackings the

FIREARMS AND TOOLMARKS UNIT of the FBI LABORATORY

has started a collection of small and easily concealed knives.

This is the first installment of a continuing effort to collect and

distribute information on knives that otherwise may be

dismissed as non threatening items. Many of the knives in this

collection were commercially purchased and typically can be

bought for less than $20. Some of these knives are common

items found in most homes and offices. You will notice also that

some are made of a plastic material, making them less likely to

be considered a weapon. Each of these tools was designed to

cut and is fully functional in that respect. Whether used to cut

paper, cardboard, or other material, these knives should be

treated as potentially dangerous weapons. Each knife is shown

with an accompanying scale for size reference and many

include an X-ray photograph to show how these weapons might

appear if placed in luggage and passed through a scanning

device.
