The Knife Angel is a 27 foot high statue constructed from 100,000 of the quarter of a million knives either handed in during an amnesty or seized by the police (some of those from the police were in evidence tubes "still with bodily fluids on their surface"!).
Quoting the Knife Angel website: "The sculpture was created in order to highlight knife crime in the United Kingdom and educate young people on the harmful effect violent behaviour can have on their communities".
The statue is currently touring the country and I travelled to Taunton to see it. More pics on Flickr < here >
