SCP-5001

Object class: Safe.

Special containment procedures: SCP-5001-1 is to be kept inside SCP 5001-2, and is to be monitored 24/7. SCP-5001-1 is only to be removed from SCP 5001-2 during testing.

Description: SCP-5001 is the designation given to 2 objects, SCP-5001-1 and SCP-5001-2. SCP-5001-1 appears to be an ordinary stainless steel butterknife, of unknown brand and make. Any physical surface the serrated edge of SCP-5001-1 touches immediately transforms into strawberry jam, the mass of which is equivalent to the mass of the object it was transmuted from. The process by which it does this is currently unknown.

While edible, consumption of the jam produced is not recommended in most cases, as the jam produced takes an abnormally long amount of time to pass through the subject’s digestive tract. This can lead to severe constipation if a large amount is ingested. The taste of the jam produced seems to vary depending on the material the jam came from. (See addendum SCP-5001-Alpha for more information.)

SCP-5001-2 is a pouch, which appears to be made of leather or similar material. It supposedly came with the purchase of SCP-5001-1. (See addendum SCP-5001-Beta.) It has so far proven to be the most effective method of containment for SCP-5001-1, as it is the only object currently known to be impervious to SCP 5001-1’s anomalous effects.

SCP-5001 was bought to the attention of the foundation through an elderly woman who phoned the police, claiming her margarine had “Turned into jam”. The police alerted the foundation, after the woman demonstrated the anomalous abilities of SCP-5001 to the police at the scene. All persons involved were given class-E amnestics, though not before questioning. Records of interviews containing pertinent information can be found in addendum SCP-5001-Beta.
