"knife angel" sculpture made out of 100,000 knives
LONDON - A 27-foot sculpture made out of 100,000 knives could be placed on the fourth plinth in London's Trafalgar Square in tribute to victims of knife crime.
The sculpture, named "Knife Angel," was created in Oswestry, Shropshire, by the British Ironwork Centre. It took two years to build.
The knives were handed in by 41 police forces around the country during amnesties and confiscations.
The campaign, " Save a Life, Surrender Your Knife ," and the statue aims to raise awareness of the growing issue of knife crime throughout the UK.
"The monument was created for one purpose, to highlight this extensive problem. Both government and the educational system need to open their eyes to the epidemic," the British Ironwork Centre's website says .
