A shiv (from the Romani word chiv) is a slang term for a sharp or pointed implement used as an improvised knife-like weapon. The shiv is the favored weapon of inmates in prisons across the world. It is infamous for its versatility - a shiv can be anything from a glass shard with cloth wrapped around one end to form a handle, to a razorblade stuck in the end of a toothbrush, to a sharpened spoon. Some inmates have even sharpened the ends of pork chop bones to make them into weapons.

Here is an example of some cool prison weapons!

ltsmith  - Yup   |208.25.211.xxx |2008-05-31 08:16:44 Yes they do work...although I have seen better made ones. you may think the ones with razors are the best but honestly they can be picked up by a metal detector. The best ones is like a plastic toothbrush or plastic comb with the end sharpened. They can get sxtremely sharp.Just rem... Reply | Quote 1   0
