Trivia

  • The item itself is a straight-edge razor.
  • "Blood Rights" is a term that means that the inherent has the right to certain things by way of heritage.
  • This item is possibly a reference to the 2002 film Gangs of New York, which deals heavily with themes of cultural obligation passed down through heritage; shortly before his own death, the main protagonist's father entrusts his son with his straight razor after having ritualistically cut himself with it, with the admonition that "The blood stays on the blade." The protagonist then hides the razor before being incarcerated and recovers it 16 years later, effectively making it his "inheritance".
