Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe - Thamuel
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is currently kept in a standard locked small storage locker in the supply cage of the logistics department at Site-11 under the supervision of the current department head. The storage locker is to remain under 24 hour recorded video surveillance at all times. No special security clearance is necessary to access SCP-XXXX. Security clearance level 2 is required to access SCP-XXXX, and must be cleared by the supervision of the department head after it was nearly lost by a careless logistics clerk (see incident report SCP-XXXXB). SCP-XXXX-1 instances may be issued/used by any SCP personnel. The creation of any SCP-XXXX-1 should be recorded in log SCP-XXXXA but do not require any further tracking as they have been found to be non anomalous.
Description: SCP-XXXX appears to be a standard safety box knife. It is high visibility green in color and has a ceramic blade. Both the hand and blade of SCP-XXXX appear to be worn from regular use. The anomalous property of SCP-XXXX is not apparent until it is placed into the front pocket of a pair of pants. Once placed in a pocket, somewhere between a few minutes to several hours later a copy of the knife will appear in the pocket with SCP-XXXX.
All copies of SCP-XXXX are designated as SCP-XXXX-1. SCP-XXXX-1 are not identical to SCP-XXXX. SCP-XXXX-1 show no anomalous traits even when kept in a pocket for several days. SCP-XXXX-1 are also worn but differently from SCP-XXXX and the wear patterns are not consistent in from one instance to the next. Causing some to believe that the SCP-XXXX-1 is unrelated to SCP-XXXX.
Controlled experimentation has been conducted to test the capabilities of SCP-XXXX
Experiment SCP-XXXX-E1 Several tests are performed to see how SCP-XXXX stays with the subject despite it being textureally and visually very similar to all SCP-XXXX-1 instances. Testing has shown that regardless of which knife starts out as SCP-XXXX the last knife to remain in the pocket becomes SCP-XXXX. This is true even if SCP-XXXX-1 is reinserted and the believed SCP-XXXX removed in it's place. The remaining knife will always become SCP-XXXX. If both knives are removed simultaneously then both put into different pants, only one knife will generate a duplicate. The manner in which the duplicating knife is determined under these circumstances is not fully understood.
Further experimentation has been deemed unnecessary.
SCP-XXXX's anomalous property was discovered accidentally by ██████ ████████ (hereafter referred to as WW), a warehouse worker for ███████ in ████████████, IN. While working in the warehouse he reached in his pocket to offer a coworker use of his company issued box knife (SCP-XXXX), but found two in his pocket. He then gave his coworker one of the knives (SCP-XXXX-1). Several minutes later he went to use his knife only to discover that he again had a second. He asked his coworker why he gave the knife back. To which his coworker showed him he still had the one WW had given him shortly before. He put the second knife into a storage bin and went about his work. Later that day, and with several instances of SCP-XXXX-1 appearing, he was reported to management for accusing several coworkers of a prank, that "you guys gotta stop f*king with me!", and that they were "… gonna get me sh*tcanned for stealing company sh*t if y'all don't quit 'n' fess up!"
Foreword: The following is an interview conducted by Agent Crosswalt of ██████(WW) on 3/██/20██ under the guise of the agent being with ██████ internal loss prevention.
<Begin Log, 08:32>
Coswalt: As I've already explained I'm here at the request of ██████ to investigate why you have been stealing supplies. This interview is to gather your side of the story. Please, start at the beginning Mr. ██████.
WW: Sir, I know it sounds crazy, I..I admit that…. but it's true! I…I'd never steal from █████. >I been workin' in that there warehouse for months, NO WRITE UPS! WW takes a breath and is silent for a few seconds calming himself down Ok, the beginning. Well, I was working with ██████ and he had to get a band off of a pallet. He didn't have a knife on him so he asked me to borrow mine. I went to give him it and I had two. Thought nothin' of it. Ya know, you pick em up here and there..whatever nothing weird. Then I got to snap a strap myself. Low and behold…I got two knives again. I'm lookin' at ██████ like the f*k you gimme this back for. He shows me the one I give him and I bout had a crisis right there. I know… I KNOW i only had two when I give him one. Ever since it don't matter what I do. Seems if I got one in my pocket..it aint long b'fore I got two in there. Don't know how… not sure I want to. WW stands up and grabs a large box from the corner. The box is full of SCP-XXXX-1 You see? Ain't no way I got all them outa that place without no one seein' me.
<End Log, 08:53>Closing Statement: After the interview ██████ and his coworkers were administered class C amnestics. Subject returned to work the next day, and is presently under short term surveillance.
Addendum: Agent Crosswalt originally thought that the anomalous object was the denim jeans worn by ██████. However, this was quickly debunked by the Agent Crosswalt when securing SCP-XXXX. Agent Crosswalt placed the jeans in a class 3 field containment chamber. When placing the jeans in the chamber SCP-XXXX fell out of the front pocket of the pants. Agent Crosswalt placed SCP-XXXX into his pocket and went about removing all of the SCP-XXXX-1's from [redacted]'s home as part of his guise that he was part of loss prevention. When the agent was checking in his, as yet unclassified, SCP he reached into his pocket for ID and found an instance of SCP-XXXX-1 had been created. Agent Crosswalt was reprimanded for his carelessness in handling an SCP. He was ordered to complete a field containment training, and was also placed on Euclid confinement watch for a week to remind him why we have procedures for proper containment in the field.
