The Shattered Knife

This seemingly ordinary knife was kept because Jung associated it with a paranormal phenomenon that took place when he was an adolescent living with his parents and younger sister. The knife seems to have broken without the use of force applied by a living human hand or by technological devices. It was broken in the Jung's kitchen as the second of two extreme events which served as precursors to Jung first discovering "the psychological point of view".
