Jan 19 2007Sapphire knife has no metal
If you ever find yourself needing to sneak a knife pass a metal detector, this is a knife that has no metal parts. The handle is made from bone and the blade is made from an artificial sapphire that can only be sharpened with special diamond whetstone. I don't understand why anybody would need this, but hey, the more ways to stab people the better. That's what I always says.

Herbalist specializing in magical plants know that metal conducts electricity and can drain a magical herb of its vital energy. The expert will use a non metal knife to collect there herbs at the right time and season and moon cycle! After all life is not just all about humans there are other aspects to life that include the nature realms and more.
Nature spirits ( the governing intelligence over growth and life of the plant) dis- like metal knifes like axes and sharp cutters that can damage the forest. Dull blades can infect plants and others with toxic parasitic stuff. nature can sense a ill intent of ignorant beings wishing to vandalize its harmonious abode, even as you realize your room has searched by a pesky brother or sister! you know were you put your journal or magazine that is now missing or slightly askew!
humans once new the power of energy crafts and how to harness the properties for health and wellness. All things carry energy vibrations that are unique patterns to thyself. Some patters are transmitted via the 7 precious metals that are uses in spiritual alchemy of singing bowls and even in modern labs were UV protective glass is made by bombarding glass to silver gold and other metals that will create glass for clarity and sensitivity for visibility.
So magic and science have come home at last under the laws that govern this universe. many humans have stumbled on to that path for many reasons but all quickly realize that the laws this world and realm are keys to self discovery inwardly and outwardly that just so happen to give them domination over the ones that are only interested in small worldly affairs of human drama like Stabbing others, so simply put. kinda reminds me of the movie " The gods must be crazy!" yes you can kill someone with a coke bottle and that is not metal too! ha I hope you enjoyed..
