what prisoners like to use like say there's a gang war going on in prison and they make what looks like a dagger a knife homemade..they make a knife out of a type of an object's a like a eating utensil, maybe piece of wood.. maybe I spelled it wrong I just thought of it fast as I was sitting there responding..shieve shiv

 

I wasn't being a wise arse. I never heard that before. So, basically, a homemade knife?

 

thank you that is correct

 

yep sometimes you watch some of those real violent movies that take place in like prisons..and you see like a homemade weapon that used looks like a knife that somebody created out of some object that is not a knife.. we've always called it a shiv in the United States

 

I thought the terminology was "shank"???

 

some call the shank some call it shiv.. I've always called it a shiv.. probably just depends on what region you grew up in perhaps??

 

Midwest region.

 

take a look online there's an interesting way to determine it just Google shank or shiv there's a couple of cool little fun articles to read

 

In the old country, we just put the bite on you and call it a day.
