title: [A possibility for identification of the knife's edge in stab wounds (author's transl)].
abstract: It is known from forensic-medical practice that the wound track of stab wounds reflects the form and dimensions of the knife's edge, when there are no supplementary cuts. If the wound channel passes through compact organs (liver, kidney, spleen, etc) it can be exposed for direct observation by removing one of its sides which allows observation of the approximate form and dimensions of the knife's edge. It enables eliminatione of those weapons which do not fit. A case of homicide is described with 9 stab wounds, one of which penetrating the liver, where the above described method was successfully used. A case of an adult man's murder is described with 9 puncture wounds, one of which penetrating the liver, where the above described method was successfully used. A case of an adult man's murder is described with 9 puncture wounds, one of which penetrating the liver, where the above described method has been successfully applied.
