More than 2,500 people have already signed a pledge calling for an end to knife crime as part of a campaign in a Warwickshire town.
The "pledge wall", put up outside St Andrew's Church in Rugby, is part of a weapons amnesty organised in the town.
People are being urged to hand in knives to the church or police.
It comes after Kevin Wright, 20, of Bilton, was stabbed to death near the church in May. A man has since been charged with his murder.
Carlton Ashman-Samuels, 28, of Nineveh Road, Handsworth, Birmingham, has been charged with murder and the attempted murders of Carl and Danny Wright.
The three men were attacked during the early hours of 5 May.
