Los Angeles Police Department say they have recovered a knife that was found on OJ Simpson's former estate where his ex-wife and her friend were murdered.
According to TMZ.com and the Los Angeles Times, a construction worker discovered the blade years after the killings and handed it to a police officer, but detectives only recently learned of its existence.
The former professional football star and actor's ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and friend Ronald Goldman were found stabbed to death at the home on 12 June 1994.
OJ Simpson was sensationally acquitted a year later of two counts of murder in what media dubbed the trial of the century.
Police have never found the murder weapon.
According to TMZ.com, a builder discovered the folding buck knife buried at the perimeter of Simpson's estate in Los Angeles' affluent Brentwood area, possibly in around 1998 when the property was being demolished.
The worker gave the blade to a traffic officer, who kept it as a souvenir instead of taking the potential item of evidence to the precinct, according to the celebrity gossip website.
Simpson is currently serving a prison sentence in Nevada for the 2007 armed robbery and kidnapping of a sports memorabilia dealer.
