Too long for a prison shank. It's too hard to hide in your space and on your body. More likely a homeless person's weapon. They get attacked/attack more than people realize and I've seen homemade weapons.
Ex-ac/hvac technician here. Look up duct knife and duct sealant. The blade shape looks exactly like duct knife and the gray paste on the blade looks like dried duct sealant. This is probably a tool a tech put together and forgot about (or was too lazy to throw away properly).
i was going to say the same thing. folks are always having to make do on job sites. that and i’ve seen similar duct knives crafted when someone realized theirs was missing.
Yeah my guess is the tool was on its last limb and shit the bed during the job. The tech made a makeshift handle that would finish out the job and didn’t bother to bring the junk with him lol
Yeah, I was going to guess insulation knife, but this makes more sense, especially since it's made from ducting material. Someone left their proper knife at home, so they made do with what they had on site.
Yeah he “found” it. . . OP’s dad murdered some hobo out at a truck stop and kept the souvenir for years somewhere and now wants to get rid of evidence while bragging about it.
Given the strange construction and the multiple colours on it (looks like orange and a very dark green), I wouldn't be at all surprised if it was just used for DIY or art. Like for clay or plaster or something.
That's some hood ingenuity there. Make a knife fit for stabbing, but with a guard to prevent cutting yourself from all the stabbing. "If there's no DNA, you aren't going away"
Most likely a day laborer making due with what they had. That isn't blood on the wrapping and you can see some of the same color on the blade. That doesn't look like old dried blood at all. That red-ish coloring is from some sort of paint or sealant. Or maybe it is a murder weapon....who knows.
Well, hate to say it but, your dad is a moron. He should have turned it over to the police as it clearly has blood on it. Never know what crime might be solved and what family might get closure from this.
I really think this is made up who finds something like this and goes "yeah, I should probably take this home and look at it, maybe get some DNA or finger prints on it while I'm at it."
I think the whole thing is made up fake blood fake story what father would just randomly bring this to his kid? A serial killer begging to be caught? Call child protection not 911
Now this is something the other tour guides won't tell you. In this particular cell-block, Machine Gun Kelly had what we call in the prison system, a "bitch". And one night in a jealous rage Kelly took a make-shift knife or "shiv", and cut out the bitch's eyes. And as if this wasn't enough retribution for Kelly, the next day he and four other inmates took turns pissing into the bitch's ocular cavities. (short pause) This way to the cafeteria!
Would the old building be a prison? Looks like something an inmate would make.
For real you can buy a better knife at family dollar

Prison ain't so bad. You can make sangria in a terlet. 'course it's "shank or be shanked".
The owner might have brought it home from prison…

What about the red blotches that appear to be blood on the cloth?
Yeah, I was going to guess insulation knife, but this makes more sense, especially since it's made from ducting material. Someone left their proper knife at home, so they made do with what they had on site.
Also, the “blood” could be a fire sealant
Why the hell did he bring the world's most obvious murder weapon home instead of taking it to the police?
Honey look what I found at work, it’s a shank!
Exactly my thoughts!! I was scrolling & thinking I know someone has to be having the same thoughts.
I would have flipped out if my husband brought this home, like WTF is wrong with you!!!
Yeah he “found” it. . . OP’s dad murdered some hobo out at a truck stop and kept the souvenir for years somewhere and now wants to get rid of evidence while bragging about it.
That’s a stabby looking knife.
Umm... Murder weapon.
My first thought as well
That's 911 material
That’s what I was thinking, I told him we should turn it in to some type of authority,
911 is for emergencies, this is not an emergency. Best to call the police station directly.
You are hero man! Thank you for helping community being safe and under control!
That's not blood, though.
Yep, wouldn’t have even touched that
honestly looks more like paint to me not blood
Yea would be rust colored unless it was pretty new blood
it's a paint can opener.
I was gonna say old Halloween prop/decoration. Red paint looks like fake blood in the photo
and that shit would of stayed right in that crawl space
would have*
Could be evidence of a cold case
Or a crafty way to cut a sandwich.
Looks like a stage prop from a High School play.
Would make sense. Since that's paint, not blood. Maybe someone playing a joke on whoever finds it.
Pretty certain the red is just paint and not blood (blood looks very different as it ages, much darker)
Definitely paint.
That there looks like a Poop Knife.
It's a poop knife with extra steps. Its range has been upgraded.
Mad that this comment was so far down!
Given the strange construction and the multiple colours on it (looks like orange and a very dark green), I wouldn't be at all surprised if it was just used for DIY or art. Like for clay or plaster or something.
DIY art for sure. DIY how many times can I stick you. We are making an action painting all over the ground.
I’m gonna go ahead and say nope on that one
The only reason I can think to tape a cross guard to a shiv is to stab it like a dagger.
100% an imrovised tool. I think its bery unlikley to be a weapon.
“DIY” as-in I’m going to stick you with this and hope you DIY, sure
Agreed, dried blood does not look red like that, it’s very very dark brown
You are now the boss of a secret mafia
That’s your average hood bayonet.
Too much Forged in Fire has me admiring the little improvised guard
Probably not the best souvenir to bring home for the family, I think.
Should have taken that piece of evidence straight to the police, pretty sure they are missing it in some unsolved murders.
Came home with it? Put it back, that could be a murder weapon for all you know. And it was hidden in a crawl space. Give it to the cops.
You know what the cops will do with it? Throw it in the trash
"Wow, a genuine murder weapon! Time to take it home for the kids."
RBI
How many shots did you need after touching it?
Watch out for clickers
Came here for this.
Those are just screen shots of Dying Light 2 (jk)
Probably a murder weapon. Cool memento.
That looks like an overlooked piece of a crime scene
Pretty smart to add a hilt. Stabbing is a messy business, don’t want to get cut on your own blade.
That's some hood ingenuity there. Make a knife fit for stabbing, but with a guard to prevent cutting yourself from all the stabbing. "If there's no DNA, you aren't going away"
Sorry to hear your dad was accused of murder.
Used once, didn't like. Best offers.
No low balls, I know what I have
The hilt was a genius move
Not going to lie… your dad might be holding a murder weapon.
Damn even has a hand guard.
maker knew thats needed if it's actually used for stabbing to keep the hand from sliding and cutting there own fingers...
Poop knife
Give it to police
that, is a murder weapon
Methxcalibur

That looks like German engineering to me
Probably would have been a good idea to have left it where he found it.
Is that dried blood on the cloth? Probably should have contacted the police if so.
That be a shiv
Poop knife
*Deluxe
Dude. Sprinkle that shit with holy water and bury it. But not on your property.
I always take selfies with possible murder weapons. Spices up the weekend.
113% that was used in a murder.
Turn it into the cops. Could be some DNA evidence on it that could solve some case.
And he didn’t immediately take it to the police? If there’s any DNA on that thing it could be linked to a cold case.
Well, hate to say it but, your dad is a moron. He should have turned it over to the police as it clearly has blood on it. Never know what crime might be solved and what family might get closure from this.
That's what's called a shank period. It was used to stap somebody!
Evidence, get dna from the blood.
Lol! Turn it in to authorities... holy fuck I've heard some shit in my day but this one...
Bruh...that's probably a murder weapon.
Why would he bring that home with him? If he wanted to show you he could’ve sent a pic.. this is wtf, dumb and scary
prison shank
Smh, why even touch it? Should have just called the police but nah I need my e points online first.
Well, this is either a murder weapon or the Spear of Destiny... actually, I guess either way it's a murder weapon, really.
Probably could solve a cold case
I really think this is made up who finds something like this and goes "yeah, I should probably take this home and look at it, maybe get some DNA or finger prints on it while I'm at it."
Neat, now take it to the police, because it's probably a murder weapon...
That’s definitely a murder weapon and he definitely should not have touched it, even with gloved hands. He really should not have moved it at all
Lmao
Ah, the DIY Circumcisor 2000
Special weapon: Inflicts the AIDS debuff
Nice. Must be so proud
Looks normal
Ayooooooo, you’re a magnet fisherman!!! Me too have a couple brutes myself.
Did the old building he was working in used to be a prison?
The classic drive cleat shank
Good way to deny plausibility
He brought it home?!?!?
someone was ranking up their survival skill
What a stick with paint on it?
Shanks for sharing.
Hobo home defense weapon. Some squatter probably left it behind.
prisonwallet
Awww grandma, not my prison shank!
Is the WTF that your dad brought this home?
Oh hey it's the Spear of Destiny.
This is an S slip for duct work turned into a prison shank.
You dad came home with a murder weapon the...
Did you ask him where he hid the body
Maybe it’s a shit knife.
A soccer ball?
It might not have a nefarious purpose. What if that's Frank's toe knife?
My guess is poop knife
A bad area of where? Mordor?
Item unlock:: Rusty prison shank
Looks like a nice toe knife.
Tbh, looks like a prop to me.
Its a shank
John McClane must live nearby
I hope he didn't get his prints or DNA on it. Just saying.....
Murder weapon
Damn! A proper shiv!
Good design. The problem i have when stabbing people is my hand sometimes slips off the hilt and i cut my palm. It makes me laugh everytime 🤣
That’s DEBO’s knife from FRIDAY
Somebody must’ve been practicing their stabbing
So that's what happened to my shank
Is it a family tradition to collect murder weapons?
Cool now it’s inadmissible.
That was definitely used for shankin
Found, huh? I'd sleep with one eye open if I were you...
At least he's wearing gloves, keep your prints away from that thing
Crap! You finally found the murder weapon 🔪
Cold cases. Call Bosch.
Poop knife or a basic stabbin stick?
I think the whole thing is made up fake blood fake story what father would just randomly bring this to his kid? A serial killer begging to be caught? Call child protection not 911
St Anger is not simply a bad area of town
A hoboshank! Sweet find
Reminds me of the spy’s knife in tf2.
notabutterknife
This is probably a self made tool for insulation or something
Realized after looking at it that it wasn't a spear, so I've decided to give it a name.
Thank you. I will refer it to that for now on
Crack whore flossing device.
Love it!!
Toe knife
“It can kill”
Debo “next Friday”
So thats where my toothbrush went!
Somebodies lucky shank.
Daaaang. That's a shiv with a HILT. That's high quality stuff, right there.
You never know when you may need a shiv! I often stash shivs around the house in case of emergency.
Press triangle to counter an attack from A clicker bruh
Charlie's rat stick.
Bad idea - looks like a murder weapon
Is it really a good idea to bring murder weapons home?
Shank
This is just a low level Dex weapon from Dark Souls, nothing to see here.
That’s a level 40 knife from an assassins creed game
This is a handmade weapon somebody made before crawling up under the house. For snakes mainly.
Looks like a tool of some sort honestly. I have lots of tools with blood on them lol
Good thing you wore gloves lmao
Just a toe knife. No biggie.
SF poopknife
Prison shank. I worked in a prison
I appreciate the hand guard.
The building where this weapon was found, I believe, was either a jail/prison or it was used for back alley street fighting.
Poop knife
All I find is used razor blades.

that's a murder weapon
Exhibit A
rat stabber
Been looking for that damn thing, thanks for finding it.
Might just be a poop knife =/
No shank you.
Looks like the first knife I ever made once I started working and got access to steel and grinding lol
