Hey, this reminds me of a scary story I read.

This is the discussion related to the wiki page SCP-143.
You have the Japanese name backwards, it should be 'Jinki no Kodachi' (刃木 の 木立ち).
Sorry if I seem anal about it, just want to be accurate.
Go for it, edits for increase in realism are always welcome…
Speaking of which, Prunoideae is the subfamily and Prunus the genus. Binomial names consist of the genus and species, not family and genus. The appropriate Latin name here would be Prunus x yedoensis (for the most common sakura variety; the common name covers several species and a raft of cultivars). Is this just nitpicky, or would you like an edit for that bit of realism?
I'd say make the edit for realism. It is what we strive for here, in part, just as Gears said.
Thanks, I actually got the Japanese off of a different user, and I always wondered if it was okay…
I really love this entry but it always seemed a little odd that such an incredibly useful material is hardly ever mentioned in anything else. You'd assume that the foundation would use this stuff for something.
We do not use SCPs in the containment of other SCPs.
Admin, SCP Wiki
Forgive the necropost - but do we not use "telekill" occasionally in SCP containment? Is that only the exception that proves the rule?
Actually, the telekill article had some bits rewritten that made it less of a magical all-purpose metal and more of a "holy snap be careful what you use it for" substance.
It depends on the author. Frankly though, in-universe, anomalous objects are by nature difficult to predict behavior-wise. There's nothing stopping someone from writing about crosstesting SCPs, but given that the Foundation can't be 100% sure that anomalies can always be trusted, it better be justified sensibly.
(account deleted)I'd assume that most high-level operatives use it for armor when containing dangerous SCPs which such armor would actually protect from. It probably isn't used often though; it must be difficult as all hell to craft something that only comes in extremely small pieces and is harder than titanium into workable armor, especially when you also have to work out a lot of the sharp edges so that operatives don't lacerate themselves to death on their own armor.
Well this is an old SCP. It's just not at the top of people's heads when they write new ones or make new tales, but there's nothing stopping you.
All I can think of is "Scatter, Senbonzakura Kakeyoshi."
I still like it, though.
I absolutely love this SCP. My only complaint is the part about the petals. Even if they are razor sharp, they would not have the mass to shred humans as described.
This is one of those great write ups where you read through with a "Well this is ok, doesn't seem so bad…" feeling until you encounter Document 143-A. Where it becomes painfully noticeable how the subtleness of the SCP can be so creepy.
Imagine if a group of strangers accidentally came across the original grove on a windy day…painful.
Is it just me, or does "They make excellent armor, shielding, and weapons.", bug anyone else. It sounds hokey.
Does anyone mind if I change that bit to "SCP-143 is currently being used to craft high-grade armor, weapons, and shielding"? Sounds better to me.

I don't mind. Other mods/admins?
(Also, how about that titanium reference?)
Wait, why in the hell would they send people to harvest the leaves without proper body armor?! I mean, exceptional hardness aside, unless we're talking monomolecular blade sharpness all you would need is a full chain-mail suit to ensure your harvesters don't look like they've gone through a Slap-Chop (tm).
well it was very windy on that day…
in the special containment procedures they mention not to stand too near to the trees without protection gear, so i guess these guys just were a bit… dumb
its a case for the darwin-award
