Edged weapons (sometimes referred to as sharp weapons or blades) are an increasing threat to military personnel, the blue light community (police, ambulance, firefighters, other first responders) and the general public worldwide. The use of edged weapons in criminal and terrorist incidents internationally means the forensic community needs an awareness of the technology of edged weapons, how they are used, the damage (clothing and wounding) that might be caused and any other forensic implications. In this paper, the magnitude of the problem is presented, prior research summarised and implications for forensic investigations discussed.
锐器（有时也被称为尖锐武器或刀片）对全球的军事人员、蓝领工作者（警察、救护人员、消防员、其他急救人员）和普通大众来说，是一个日益严重的威胁。在国际犯罪和恐怖事件中使用锐器意味着法医界需要了解锐器的技术、使用方法、可能造成的伤害（衣物和创伤）以及任何其他法医学方面的影响。本文介绍了这一问题的严重程度，总结了先前的研究，并讨论了其对法医调查的影响。
