The Knife Angel - British Ironworks Centre

National Youth Anti-Violence Tour & Programme

 The sculpture, made from over 100,000 seized blades, was specifically created to highlight the negative effects of violent behaviour whilst solidifying our critical need for social change. Not only does the Angel act as a catalyst for turning the tide on violent and aggressive behaviour, but it is also acts as a beautiful memorial designed to celebrate those lives who have been lost through these violent and thoughtless actions.

The Making Of the Knife Angel

The Making Of the Knife Angel

The Making Of the Knife Angel

 Our main goal through the creation of the Knife Angel is to educate and raise national awareness around anti-violence and anti-aggression. We have not only achieved this, but with the help of communities, police constabularies, councils and the Home Office, we have gone above and beyond what we dreamed possible. From hundreds of thousands of knives being removed off our streets, to creating city Legacies that live on far beyond the Knife Angel’s visit. 

Sculpture Objectives

The Making Of the Knife Angel

 Since the Knife Angel’s very conception, we have always had a singular objective in mind – to bring about social change. The Knife Angel was always intended to educate children, young people and adults about the harmful effects that violent behaviour has on communities all across our nation. It has also helped to raise better awareness, helped those carrying knives to renounce violence as a solution for solving disputes, and encouraged leading bodies to create better initiatives to turn the tide on aggressive behaviour.  It symbolises a call for change whilst acting as a National Memorial for victims of knife crime and their loved ones.
