Help, murder knife.

[BA_Colt]

Ya it's called over sharpening/grinding. Some lummox let lose on the metal.

 

[xX_Blade_Xx]

Killgar said it all...as did many in this thread. Sorry. The knife is a dead-end.

 

[FearAgent]

This thread is awesome. That knife is not. Definitely a generic gas station knife

 

[Lennart Remstam]

Okay, I understand, it does not lead anywhere, I just want to see if anyone might have an exact duplicate knife and could give me some information about it. There is a reward in the case, and the knife origin could be helpful depending on where it is made, and when.

I will keep looking.
Thanks

Nah , the only thing interesting about that knife is if someone knew someone who had one like it at the time of the murders , in the same town of course , nothing else really,


but then again balisongs are not that common here so the best thing would be to just ask people in that town if they knew anyone who had one , this is how I would do it , I would go to that town , get into a cab , and say follow that car ,,

Did CSI reruns just hit syndication in Sweden?

It was made in China sometime in the past 20 or 30 years or so, along with countless thousands, if not millions of others just like it. There is no more information to be had.

It's a 100.000 town and the police have the DNA from the killer.
The police believe the killer lived around the crime scene and the police have checked DNA on 2.000 guys, no results. No one have seen the knife in the town even if it looks very used.

If somebody had flashed around with it, someone should remember it, but none. That's why I'm asking you, maybe the knife is old and rare and comes outside Sweden.
The guy who got killed was only 8 years old, Mohammed from Lebanon.
The whole case is a mistery, so much evidence but no killer, so I thought if I could trace the knife it maybe could help, if it is a rare knife.

It's not.

The knife origin is "China"
Made sometime in the last 30 years most likely.
If you have "swap meets" or flea Markets over there, that is a possible place of purchase, or at a mall kiosk selling ninja stars, knock off zippos and t-shirts. These are the places they appear on this side of the pond.

Maybe the killer stole it from a child or mall ninja.

I'm gonna book mark this thread.

Title

"Solving Crime, the Science of Photo Shop Lines!"

I had initially considered "photographic sleuthing............My life as a crime busting PI"

 

[Big Mike]

I think I get it.

The Op is an amateur sleuth following cold leads trying to break a case that has a reward attached.

Somehow he thinks following this knife will lead him to the perp, and thus the reward.

As such he finds the answers he's getting from the knife community unsatisfactory, and is holding on to the hope of using the knife to find it's way back to the killer.

What he fails to see is the generic/untraceable nature of the product itself.

The fact is the knife could have been a copyright violation at the time it was made; and, at least, it was a cheap clone of an existing design.

Companies that don't put their name and country of origin on their knives do so for a reason.



I think the the majority of the posters here understand this, not so much the OP.

Maybe you should question Chow Yun Fat.

So if you stop guessing and have good information about an exactly knife that's on the photo, that could help to close the case, I will not forget you, promise.

Maybe there's a language barrier problem here, or maybe you're just not understanding.

The knife was made in China. It is very cheap (both in quality and price). Thousands upon thousands of them were made and are still being made. It is one of the most common cheap balisongs you can find. They can be found practically everywhere, even in (or especially in) countries where they are illegal, because they are so cheap that importers can bring in so many that it's impossible for the authorities to keep them all out. On a global scale, there is absolutely no way you can track how this knife got into Sweden and into the hands of a killer. It's cheap, and it was made in China. That's all anybody here will be able to tell you.

I'm getting the feeling that OP doesn't understand what we're saying because he's relying on machine translation and some details are getting lost in the process. Can someone that speaks Swedish translate what everyone here is saying to him?

"I won't forget you, promise"

This smells of troll... Possibly epic troll.

Trolls smell stupid, right?

There's a grasp of American English evident in the writing style, not much if anything should be lost in translation.

On the off chance that I'm wrong.

Perhaps you are persistent to the point of irrationality.

Who knows? Maybe OP has some kind of relation to the victim. Those are also the kind of words you'd say to someone that you're very grateful to.
