Knife Angel sculpture in Plymouth. The Knife Angel (also referred to as the National Monument Against Violence & Aggression) is a contemporary sculpture formed of 100,000 knives created by artist Alfie Bradley and the British Ironworks Centre, based in Oswestry, England.[1]

Completed in 2018, the structure of the angel stands at 27 ft (8.2 m) tall.[2] In order to create the sculpture, 200 knife banks were produced by the Ironworks and amnesties held for individuals to anonymously donate their knives. Knives seized by police were also included, some of which arrived in evidence tubes still with bodily fluids on their surface.[1]

The sculpture was created in order to highlight knife crime in the United Kingdom and educate young people on the harmful effect violent behaviour can have on their communities.[3][4]

The sculpture was made at a reported cost of £500,000.

I understand that there's a statue erected in memory of Anti in Hemel Hempstead, where the series was filmed. Wonderful

The wonderful "Anti" who appeared films with George Clooney and Tom Cruise. "Anti" was in Ricky Gervais Netflix series "Afterlife" where she was known as Brandy.. Anti sadly died recently, she was 13.....photograph taken at Crufts in 2022
