Special Containment Procedures:
SCP-007 is to be kept in a standard containment locker at Site-XX. Access to SCP-007 requires Level 3 clearance and must be authorized by personnel with Level 3 clearance or higher. Testing involving SCP-007 must be conducted in a reinforced testing chamber with remote handling equipment due to its anomalous properties.
Description:
SCP-007 appears to be a medieval-style sword with a unique and deceptive design. The sword exhibits a blade and handle configuration that defies conventional understanding:
- Blade: The "blade" of SCP-007 resembles a conventional handle in appearance and texture. It is composed of an unknown metallic alloy that shows no signs of wear or corrosion.
- Handle: The handle of SCP-007, which appears to be the normal part of the sword, is extremely sharp and capable of cutting through most materials with ease. It is composed of an anomalous material that resists conventional analysis.
Anomalous Properties:
When wielded, SCP-007 exhibits the following anomalous properties:
- Deceptive Appearance: SCP-007 deceives observers into perceiving the blade as the handle and vice versa. This effect seems to override visual and tactile senses, causing confusion and potentially hazardous handling situations.
- Sharpness: The true "blade," which is the handle, possesses an anomalous sharpness that allows it to effortlessly cut through materials that come into contact with it. This sharpness extends to its perceived edges, contributing to its deceptive nature.
- Psychological Influence: Persons handling SCP-007 may experience a compulsion to use it in combat scenarios, despite its anomalous properties. This effect varies in intensity but appears to be linked to prolonged exposure.
Additional Notes:
SCP-007 was recovered from [REDACTED], where it was reportedly used in a series of ritualistic ceremonies. Investigation into the origins of SCP-007 and its previous owners is ongoing. Personnel handling SCP-007 are advised to exercise caution and avoid direct physical contact without appropriate protective measures due to its deceptive and hazardous nature.
