Walmart Knife at Center of Shocking Teen Murder
The knife Karmelo Anthony used to kill Austin Metcalf was a Walmart multi-tool with a serrated blade – and it sells for just $13.
Anthony’s knife came from the Walmart camping brand “Ozark Trail,” and had a 3.5-inch blade.
It is a 6-in-1 multitool equipped with a flashlight and glass breaker, and is “ideal for someone who hunts, camps or who travels often,” according to the Walmart listing.
Here’s the latest on Karmelo Anthony’s murder conviction:
- Karmelo Anthony placed in isolation at Texas prison after murder conviction
- Austin Metcalf’s twin brother delivers stinging 6-word rebuke to Karmelo Anthony
- Karmelo Anthony’s $625K crowd funding page yanked by GiveSendGo after conviction
- Jasmine Crockett suggests she also would have stabbed Austin Metcalf
- Karmelo Anthony’s grandmother shouts ‘Racist!’ and riles up crowd after his guilty verdict
The blade was more than enough to kill 17-year-old Austin – a 200-pound football player — who was left with a two-inch gash in his chest when Anthony stabbed him at an April 2025 high school track meet in Frisco, Texas.
A blade of that size is legal to carry in Texas, but was not allowed on the grounds of the Frisco school where the stabbing happened.
