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.
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.

===MESSAGE FROM ETHICS COMMITTEE RECEIVED===
Dr. Young,
We have reviewed your experiment logs, and deemed them excessive, and unwarranted.
However, if we are to be honest, we noticed your undue testing of SCP-4514 a while ago. It's rare to have D-Class actively line up for experimentation. Testing actual employees was only inevitable.
We needed to discuss what the next step should be: create a standardized process for choosing SCP-4514 test subjects, offer this service to the public, etc.
In the end, as you can tell, we returned to our core principles as an organization. The world has forced us to redefine the status quo, but it is not our job to change it back. No matter how much we want to be at eternal peace, normalcy dictates that we can never achieve it.
Officially, you are hereby removed from the SCP-4514 project.
Unofficially, we get it. Life's a bitch.
- Dr. Violet Mesmur, Ethics Committee
