Jack The Ripper info.

[Sparx]

One of my friends is doing a report over Jack The Ripper, and he can't find anything over the weapon that he used. I found a few articles and an "artists rendition", but I can't find much else. While I was googling things, I thought, "maybe someone on dis knows" so I came here.
Does anyone know anything about the knife he used? Thanks In Advance.

The 'Ripper`s' choice of weapon was a straight razor blade, strong enough to use as a stabbing/slashing implement, but flexible enough to use in the many dismemberment activities employed.

That information came from this website: http://hosted.ray.easynet.co.uk/serial_killers/whitecha.html

I hope that this is what you need.

That is. Thank you. Google was about to drive me crazy!

If the report isn't due by tomorrow (not that I know anything about leaving things for the last minute ) your friend might want to read "Case Closed" by Patricia Cornwell. It's a (supposedly) non-fiction work about her research into the Jack the Ripper story. Pretty interesting.

Don't remember reading anything more specific than that he must have used a sharp knife, probably long bladed.

He's read "Uncle Jack" and it is due tomorrow. lol. He didn't realize that he had to have a visual too. (i. e. wade speak for "I didn't feel like doing it until now. )
The razor blade info fit with what he's read. Thanks everyone.

Shelby, don't help him with an assignment that he has obviously put off until the last minute, you are only encouraging this sort of behavior. Tell him to get off of IM and do his homework.
