Compact improvised prison weapon consisting of a white ceramic blade inserted into a translucent plastic handle. The handle appears to have been fabricated or modified to securely retain the blade, with no external wrapping or tape visible. The ceramic blade has a single angled point and bears partial printed markings on one side, consistent with a commercially manufactured ceramic utility blade that has been repurposed. The compact size and smooth, rounded handle distinguish this example from larger improvised metal shanks.
The item is housed in a sealed evidence container labeled "EVIDENCE – DO NOT TAMPER." The handwritten information on the evidence label is only partially legible. It appears to read:
Date: 5-21-2020
Collected By: A. S... (surname illegible)
Description: "2 in ceramic blade with sheath" (the wording "2 in ceramic" and "blade with sheath" are the most legible portions, though the handwriting is difficult to decipher and cannot be confirmed with certainty).
