👉 The diary weapon, also known as the diary knife or diary blade, is a unique and often macabre weapon that involves using a small piece of paper or fabric, typically from a diary or journal, as a makeshift blade. This weapon is particularly associated with the late 19th and early 20th centuries, especially in contexts like Victorian England and the American frontier. The diary weapon is usually attached to a handle, such as a wooden or metal rod, and its small size makes it difficult to detect, allowing the user to conceal it easily. When thrown or swung, the sharp edge of the diary paper can inflict significant damage, making it a terrifying and unconventional tool for assassination or self-defense. Its use often carries a dark and eerie connotation, reflecting the era's fascination with the macabre and the blurring of lines between innocence and violence.
