'''Big Knives''' are one of the oldest recurring items in the [[Homestar Runner (Flash cartoon)|Homestar universe]]. The most famous and most frequently referenced instance of this inside joke is the "Big Knife", which first appeared in the email [[i love you]], as part of the [[Painting of a guy with a big knife]]. A similar knife appeared earlier in the [[Theme Song Video]], and it has made numerous reappearances since then in other emails and toons, along with similar knives. [[Strong Bad]] seems to have a particular — albeit unexplained — affinity for them. Big knives almost always appear with serrated edges.
