The surrender, which took place 21 – 27 November, saw 332 weapons handed in at police stations across Greater Manchester.
Samurai swords, kukri knives and a machete were among the haul of weapons dropped off by residents.
The anonymous surrender was supported by Rhian Jones, the mother of Dominic Doyle who was tragically stabbed to death on a night out in Tameside. He was just 21 years old when he died.
The knives will now be donated to the British Ironworks Centre, who will melt them down and transform into a statue in memory to those that have lost their life to knife crime.
Chief Inspector Debbie Dooley said: “During this one week alone, more than 300 knives were surrendered by members of the public, meaning there are fewer weapons on the streets that could potentially fall into the wrong hands.
“We’re pleased so many people took the opportunity to safely dispose of their bladed items and would like to thank the community for helping us to reduce knife crime and make the streets safer, which will ultimately save lives.”
Deputy Police and Crime Commissioner Jim Battle said: “There has been a fantastic response from the public to this campaign and I want to say thank you. Your support has led to the surrender of more than 300 knives, taking them out of circulation and putting them into safe hands.”
To report a crime, call Greater Manchester Police on 101 or 999 in an emergency. Alternatively, please call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

...a voice shouts loud
“we’ll never surrender”
a voice in the crowd
“we’ll never surrender”
a hand in the air fight propaganda
never surrender, never surrender…
The final image in this series. I think it was Oscar Wilde that said, "the only way to get rid of temptation, is to yield to it."
Surrendering is not a weakness. At the contrary it is strength. The surrender stops living in boiling water and starts living in a secure place.

In a sacred moment of doubt maybe…
The lord looked up to heaven…
his body ever so exhausted
his soul desperate to resurrect
yet pleading…
“Why father, why did you abandon me”
…
The orphans, God’s children…I thought
their exhausted faces,
by a mildewed dream from within
decade in a garden of passion
Fatigued…
surrendered in the land of temples…
I looked up, shed a tear… For a moment
I screamed quietly…
“Why father, why did you ever abandon them”

Poem by Elise Dirlam Ching
This long road:
neck arched as the heron's
to seek through moss on forest fingers
where silver throated owl makes song
and larvae of the spirit
work in silence to make a new world.
Oh, fertile darkness where misery sulks
a drunken shadow with no attachment
and moist earth trembles toward the light
that glows regardless of all suns.
All the while the heart full knowing
thumps its way to the pull of the polestar.

There's a bike trail I frequent that runs alongside a creek. At one point it passes beneath a bridge, where you can still see the detritus left by earlier flooding. To me, there's something both alarming and oddly comforting to see the evidence that such a small, tame little creek can be transformed into a ferocious torrent.

1945
war is over, the German garrison has negotiated a ceasefire with allied forces, disarmed and disconsolate, the Haupt-Bereichsleiter, (zone leader ) leads his men out of the fortress for the last time, to begin the long journey back to Germany.

Viet Cong and North Vietnamese soldiers were encouraged to desert by these "chieu hoi" (Open Arms) leaflets that were airdropped in areas we didn't control. The leaflets featured stories of those who found happiness on the side of the South Vietnamese government, showed piles of captured weapons, wounded captives being treated well, etc.
Some of those who came over became scouts and translators for our Marine battalion. For some reason, they were called "Kit Carson" scouts. I doubt they did well after South Vietnam fell to the communists about 6 years after I found these in an area we were patrolling.
That's authentic Vietnamese mud on the leaflets.
A shot from my archives a couple years ago. I remember I took numerous photos, trying very hard to make an interesting composition whilst simultaneously thinking it's probably been done already. Photo taken from Dubai Mall in the UAE.
Italian anti fascist partisans had been playing an increasingly important role towards the end of the war, ever since Italy had deposed Mussolini and switched sides in 1943. In the North of Italy they fought a bitter guerrilla war against occupying German forces. By the spring of 1945, supplied with arms by the Allies, they had grown to become a very significant force. Here their leaders have just arrived at Fort Carpenedo to accept German surrender
