    These reports show no difference, or, at all events, no significant difference, between the lambs that were seared and those which were knifed, at any of the weighings. Any difference is in favour of the knifed lambs, but it would be a mistake to attach much importance to this result particularly since it was obtained in one season only. 1911, Bulletin of the Bureau of Agricultural Intelligence and of Plant-Diseases, volume 2, numbers 5-12, The Institute, page 2201
    The police were on the pavement outside; the knifed man lay holding his side with blood through his fingers spreading up his cheap shirt like litmus paper turning red. 1973, John Hale, The Fort, Quartet Books Limited, page 106
    “Is it drugs?” I prompted when he frowned but remained silent. “We'll let the experts decide that, shall we?” he said calmly. As if it were an everyday occurrence to find a baggie of pills in a ransacked storeroom with a knifed owner next door. 2021, Tracey Drew, Knitted and Knifed: (A Humorous & Heart-warming Cozy Mystery), Icon Publishing Limited, page 38
