A shiv is a simple, homemade knife or sharp weapon, often made from whatever object is available, like a sharpened piece of metal or plastic. The word is used especially for weapons made and used in prison, or in slang about street fights. It's an informal, rough word - not something to use in formal writing.
(尤指獄中自製的)土製小刀、凶器。
組成May come from a Romani (Gypsy) word for blade, "chiv", though the exact history isn't fully certain.
