In India, this guy "ate" these knives. Look at the kind they are and what he said. The doctors think it is a weird psychological addiction he has. They joked with him that if he wants more iron in his diet he should eat spinach instead!
" He was able to keep his addiction a secret from his family, but things came to a head when he began to experience severe abdominal cramps and found himself unable to walk. Doctors were unsure of a diagnosis until a CT scan showed the shocking source of the problem. The opened blades in the patient’s stomach were causing severe internal bleeding, and Dr. Jatinder Malhotra said that the man would not have survived much longer without medical attention."
Then check this out from the article:
" On Friday, a nerve-wracking five-hour operation led by Dr. Malhotra resulted in the complete removal of the pocket knives from the patient’s stomach. The knives, which appear to be Sanrenmu slipjoint folders, have clip point blades, steel liners, and a bail or lanyard loop at the base of the handle. The patient ate some open, and some closed, and according to Malhotra some had broken up and began to rust. Some of the knives had an overall length of seven inches. If each knife weighed just 3 oz., the patient was carrying 7.5 lbs of knives in his stomach, about the weight of a healthy newborn baby."
I guess he didn't want to go for some Spyderco, the "filet mignon" of knives, and instead opted for some McDees
In some websearches I found those knives:

This also gives us some insight into what stomach acids would do to steel.
Can you imagine if those were all made of H1 stainless?
