SCP-4514
Item #: SCP-4514
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4514 is to be held in a standard Safe-Class container. SCP-4514 is only to be used with the approval of the O5 council.
Description: SCP-4514 refers to a standard switch knife. SCP-4514's anomalous properties are known to manifest should it:
- Injure an individual such that they lose 40% of their blood
- Injure an individual to cause significant damage to the brain
- Injure an individual to cause significant damage to the heart
- Injure an individual such that they are incapable of respiration
Investigation is underway to discover additional ways to trigger SCP-4514's anomalous properties.
Should an individual be injured by SCP-4514 in such a way that activates its anomalous properties, that individual will die.1
Discovery: On 5/14/2130, SCP-4514 was recovered following a violent altercation between two inebriated individuals. The quarrel resulted in SCP-4514 being used to kill one of the involved persons. Foundation personnel were alerted after the local paper published a story covering the event, who administered amnestics to all witnessing parties. A disinformation campaign was run thereafter to discredit the news agency.
