The Knife Angel sculpture is made of 100,000 bladed instruments (flick knives, pen knives, machetes, samurai swords, kitchen knives) collected in amnesties by all 43 UK Police Forces. All have been sterilised and blunted.
Sculptor, Alfie Bradley created the Knife Angel along with the British Ironwork Centre in Shropshire. Various cities have been hosting the sculpture to raise awareness of knife crime throughout the UK.
Newtown, Powys, was the first town in Wales to host The Knife Angel. The Angel will continue on tour to raise awareness and provide a focal point to question the senseless deaths and loss of lives, and also support the Police and School Education Programmes.
