- "But Dumbledore merely smiled. There was a flash of silver, and a spurt of scarlet; the rock face was peppered with dark, glistening drops."
- — Dumbledore cutting his arm with this knife in order to make a blood offering in the Cave[src]
Albus Dumbledore's knife was a silver knife owned by Albus Dumbledore.[1]
History[]
In June 1997, Dumbledore used the knife to cut his hand in order to get some blood as a tribute or payment to open the sealed archway entrance to the seaside cave where he and Harry Potter retrieved the fake Horcrux locket. Dumbledore offered the knife to Harry to use again for the doorway's blood tribute when they fled the cave, although since Harry had already scraped his arm on a rock, it was not necessary.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
- The Noble Collection sells a replica of the knife.
- The prop used in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince appears to have been based on an French knife design, the Opinel.
