This 27' sculpture was created from knives seized by police and turned in during a knife amnesty.
I love it.

I learned about it because it was mentioned in a video I was watching, and the relatives of victims of knife crime were engraving messages on some of the blades. Many knives apparently turned up at the ironworks centre where the sculpture was created in evidence tubes with bodily fluids still on them.
