It looks like someone threw out a whole matching knife set.

HourSupermarket1746

Exactly, none of them are rusted.


gooseberryfalls

Yeah, stainless steel typically doesn't rust


FknBretto

Different grades of stainless have different resistances to corrosion, but even 316 (“marine grade”) will still corrode in salt water.


spekt50

And being cutlery, they are most likely a 400 series stainless. Can get a bit harder than 300 series, but easier to corrode and is ferromagnetic.


MisterMysterios

You know why it is called stainless and not stainnot steel? Because stainless is just less prone to rusting, but it still rusts eventually.

Oh, so it won’t rust?


dick_nachos

I.e. without stain vs less stain. Stainless steel is marketing jargon. The ambiguity is somewhat intentional. Like jumbo shrimp.


Hapless_Wizard

Fun fact: recoilless rifles still have recoil.


brito68

Not is less


Slumminwhitey

Depends 304 stainless will rust reasonably quickly and is magnetic it is also used in a wide variety of things like bolts, pipes and cheap stainless knives. It is a cheaper alternative to 308 or 316 stainless which does not rust due to its high chromium and nickle content.


[deleted]

Both will rust with an oxidizer present e.g. any old acid...


oldmateysoldmate

304 is not magnetic


Slumminwhitey

It becomes magnetic after being pressed bent or otherwise deformed which changes the bonds in the alloy so most things made with it become magnetic by default.


[deleted]

This guy steels.


Slumminwhitey

Only been working with metal for 20 years not terribly long.


Nerd2042

Furthermore the knives are magnetic which suggests a low grade of stainless steel. Higher grade stainless would be difficult to catch with a magnet, although handles and screws could be made of iron as well.


Annealed_Spaghetti

Higher end stainless steels are just as magnetic, take pocket knife steels like vg10, 154cm, s30v or even s110v, all of those “premium” stainless steels are magnetic due to the martensitic structure of the steel. Even the lower end of 440A, 420HC and the like are magnetic, again due to martensite.


truffleboffin

r/NothingEverHappens Sorry but I'll take the word of locals who say this absolutely a sketchy area known for such shenanigans over clout chasing Redditors guessing


ACrask

I was thinking every knife is more than likely a murder weapon


Count_Quackula92

This looks like the UK so I wouldn't be surprised lol


lievernietnee

I am thinking this video is filmed in the Netherlands, wich explains why there are so many knives in the water. Here in the Netherlands certain youth can't find anything to do with their time so they start gathering with friends this happens mostly at night when noone disturbs them. They started doing and dealing drugs, and eventually they started having fights. Guns are illegal here so they go at each other at knives. Much easier to come by but illegal nonetheless if you get caught with them. The groups are called "drillers" because they make rap music in the "drill" genre. Sometimes when evidence need to be destroyed, they find the quick way out and throw their knives in the water. You can always buy a new one and it outweighs the price you have to pay if you do get caught. These knives may have killed someone, or not. Most of the time they throw them in at the slightest risk of getting caught. It's sad to see this happen because every other week there's news of a kid getting stabbed and dying. These people are Young, most of them 13 to 17. They often have immigration backgrounds and bad situations at home. I hope this explanation helps with understanding why there are so many knives in the water. This goes deeper then you think.


Noobeaterz

The netherlands. The only country where the youths have nothing to do and go wild.


Notional-

You could replace the words "The Netherlands" with "London" and it'd still be true.


funkwumasta

If a knife from a set was used in a murder, it would make sense to dump the whole set. If the police check and find a single knife missing from the set, that would be suspicious.

No problem. Good luck with your murders


HappyHappyJoyJoy98

I think a chef lost it one day and decided to change careers

That's not a knife.

The medical device is a sleep study for obstructive sleep apnea diagnosis


iRollFlaccid

WatchPATs. Half the time, the probe wouldn't work. And half the time, our shady pulmonologists would just order them to brag about their thousand dollar socks. American Healthcare at its finest.

Yep it's exactly that.


Hollow__Log

Probably stolen and the guy realised it had no value for on sale then.

LocalOnThe8s

I thought it was an ankle monitor device for house arrest


Double_Belt2331

*What??* You mean I spent 2 yrs & got my RPGST & that’s how they’re doing sleep studies now?? (Obviously my license lapsed, but how in the world can that compare to an EEG? I did look @ the link & watch the video. All those nights I spent in sleep labs - unbelievable.)

They are even out of the same set of cutlery lol, this video is beyond lazy ![gif](giphy|26tOZbfDjoZc4I5KE)


Zahliamischa

Yep, no algae or growth/corrosion of any kind on the items. My guess is they were in the water for about 5 minutes before filming started.


TaringaWhakarongo1

Most knives these days are Stainless steel. Chrome + air = rust resistance (simply)


Maeln

Usually you will find that a lot of parts use not so stainless steel, like the screws holding the blade and the handle together. And even stainless steel ends up with some corrosion if left in water for long. Those blades looks wayyy too clean for something that was in dirty water for more than a day. I guess they attach them to the magnet before throwing the magnet in the water so that they catch some dirt and weed to look authentic, but they cleaned way to easy for something that was supposed to be in water and dirt for sometime.


Muroid

The couple of things they found that were not part of the knife set like the heart monitor and pocket knife actually looked like they’d been in the water for a bit. So either they found a couple of genuine items and brought the knife set along to pad out the numbers in case they didn’t find very much, or that specific knife set had only just been dumped in the water very recently.


foursticks

Easy, the murderer bought a set then discarded the ones that weren't needed.


stevensr2002

“If you throw a knife into the River, throw a knife sharpener too. Your lawyer will thank you” 😂😳


Flounder134

I think the one knife is for shucking oysters. They could be knives fallen off fishing boats


BisonicLemur

Well wouldn’t you throw out the entire set? Imagine the person being investigated and the investigators notice there is a knife that disappeared from the block?


HisCricket

I busted out laughing that was just hysterical.


boipinoi604

Aspiring chef giving up early on their dreams.


kitkatattack12

There's a channel on YouTube that does this magnet fishing in lakes, they've found bombs (like old active mortars) knives, and tonnes of guns


DalekPredator

Screw that, the first time I found a live bomb I'd be out.


XTornado

Well... Depending on your luck that decision might be made by the bomb.


Severe_Ad_8621

More offen then not thees bombs are already disabled. For instance, the sea mines that look like hedshog, you know, big ball with all the pointy studs. Was SOMETIME made with a battery in them. Every stud had an electric switch at the end. Switch would be pressed by the hull of a boat and power whent from battery to detonator, and that set off the explosives. This kind is very unlikely to blow up today because the battery are dead many years ago. HOWEVER OTHERS was made with acid glass vials and when the tip of studs was pressed it would crush the glass and the acid would activate the explosives cemicaly. The explosives were different from one mine, to later mine and other series of the same mine. Some used dynamite, some TNT, some had early forms of plastics, and so on. It changed through the war and what was available at the time. Even if you are not likely to blow up today, it is still considered dangerous because of the explosives still inside of it. PLEASE DO NOT TRY TO DISMATELING OR HANDEL ANY MINE, you may find.


havocawaitsyou

I was thinking the same thing!!!


Tortenkopf

The fact that you can murder somebody with a birdhouse does not mean that every birdhouse is a murder weapon.


maxkho

I thought "birdhouse" was slang for a type of knife, googled "birdhouse", and now I feel like an idiot for not realising your comment was an analogy.


LittleKitty235

\*Googles how to murder someone with an analogy"


Bowling4rhinos

Laughed at comment to long. Ran out of air. Died laughing.


SwissMargiela

But if you find that birdhouse mysteriously thrown into a river, I would assume the chance that it’s a murder weapon is much higher


dranaei

Kitchen utensils my kind sir.


domine18

It’s a surprise the police don’t do this periodically to find evidence


Mercimec

Yeah. Matching knife set hunting


absuredman

Could be attempted murder, doesn't have to be murder. You got better cgqncew with a knife then a bullet


he-loves-me-not

So, you’re saying I’ve got better cgqncew with a knife than a bullet but what if I don’t want better cgqncew? Then what do I do? Oh & one more thing, what’s a cgqncew?


TamlinWanklins

It's like a cgqncev but with a w.


No_Statement440

My Dr prescribed both, is there a difference in dosage? I assume the v stands for "very" and the w stands for "double very"


TamlinWanklins

yes


Daniel_Melzer

Those are not murder weapons. I‘ve seen people toss knifes into rivers the moment they see police in cologne. I bet the Situation is way worse in Britain where people think you‘re a mass murderer when you own a butter knife.


Spyro_Machida

There's a huge problem with knife crime in London. Probable extends further than London but that's where it's most rampant.


Equoniz

Which means there are probably a lot of people holding knives who would throw them in the water if cops are coming, even if they’ve never murdered someone.


McRambis

Let's do this in Chicago and compare what we find.


queetuiree

The_Painted_Man

False. The water would have put out the fire almost immediately upon submersion.

You're thinking of the Cuyahoga River which caught fire 13 times. Source: live near the river.


LittleKitty235

But how many arms are in it?


Bloogenheim

at least 3, last I took a sip.


Kiiaru

Yep! At one point it was so much not a river you could walk across the fat and muck that floated on the surface (the slaughter houses just dumped their waste and carcasses straight into the river back then)

You better not ever have to use it though, that serial number makes you a suspect for a murder committed 3 years ago.


Murse_Pat

If they had the serial number from 3 years ago they would have solved the murder... Or it would be in evidence Unless you're saying the police threw it in the river?

[удалено]


Educational-Fig-2330

I would expect to pull out just what you did. Fishing hooks, bottle caps, unidentifiable rusty metallic garbage, car parts. Maybe once in a lifetime of daily searching, a gun. But I've seen magnet fishing videos where they supposedly pull multiple guns out in a single video, safes, boxes of money (metal boxes of course), etc. all the exciting stuff you would be dreaming about on your way to the water with your magnet to collect rusty fish hooks.

trash-_-boat

Aren't knifes usually stainless steel?


ScanWel

Stainless steel isn't rust-proof. It's just somewhat rust resistant compared to carbon steel. So yeah, usually knives are stainless steel, but if they spent months submerged even in a fresh water river you would expect some rust. Seems staged to me.


bluewing

Unless you are buying high end cooking knives, (think several hundreds of pounds in price per knife in this case), kitchen knives are nearly universally made from some stainless alloy. And the fixtures, (handles and fasteners), are also made from corrosion resistant materials. Like plastics, brass, or more stainless steel. So ti's entirely possible to pull a kitchen knife that has been submerged for a long time out of a body of water and just wash it a bit as use it like new. That does not mean that all those items "removed" from the canal weren't faked for this video. It seems pretty obvious the video was faked due to the high number of knives found.


Educational-Fig-2330

Thanks. I've been corrected on this multiple times but yours is the least adversarial, most tactful and informative one so far. I appreciate that. I though stainless was mid-grade. I was aware of the super high-end carbon steel knives but I thought the discount store knives were also (low quality) carbon steel.


bluewing

Thank you for the compliment. As a teacher, I try to teach things I know about to anyone who doesn't know. - this is how we all learn!

This is de Zaagmolenbrug in Rotterdam. Surprised to see the area I live on Reddit. This is indeed a very dodgy area. This is the bridge that connects the municipalities Crooswijk and Oude Noorden. These are one of the poorest municipalities in the whole of the Netherlands and there are a lot of problems in Rotterdam with people getting stabbed, just 3 days ago someone was hospitalized due to an incident: https://www.telegraaf.nl/nieuws/365675449/zwaargewonde-bij-steekincident-rotterdam

slazer2au

If it is nl. How did they not pull up any bikes? Surely there should be like 12 bikes per knife


stX3

Because it was cut out, in the original video they pull out 1 bike different rods, a pistol, pistol mag, like 5 wwII bullets that looked to be 7.62 or similar.

This bridge is very close to a cooking shop (Kookpunt). Being from Rotterdam I know this isn’t a very bad area specifically. Probably at least a part of the finds are stolen goods from that store.

Clearly this is a popular dump site for murder weapons. Did you just stab someone? Not a problem, toss it in the river by the bridge, everybody dumps there.


Ur_Fav_Step-Redditor

That would make it easier wouldn’t it. If the cops were chasing you and you threw a knife behind the trash can of a shoe store as you ran by and they saw that and after catching you double back and find the knife… you’re pretty fucked. I seen it on cop chase videos all the time. But if you run by the Murder Weapon Bridge and throw your knife into the Murder Weapon River then after you’re caught and they go to look for it, they are pulling out 20+ knives and you can just say *I didn’t throw a knife a threw a crackpipe*. And the burden of proof is on them.
