A white flag, a static white weapon.
The white flag has always been considered a flag of peace. In the past, the white flag was raised during war when a country had surrendered. Today, the white flag still serves as a symbol of peace.
The knife is one of the oldest man-made objects. In prehistoric times, Neanderthals made cutting tools, while Homo sapiens made the first knives from bone or obsidian, initially simple but later more complex designs.
The knife becomes a white flag, static and no longer usable.
