Death from above!

This badass golden eagle clutching a hunting knife in his talons was snapped by photographer Han Bouwmeester in Västerbotten, Sweden.

Bouwmeester and some colleagues cut up pieces of meat to lure eagles to his wildlife photo shoot, and one of them left the knife in the snow.

That’s when the eagle swooped in.

“I looked at the display of the camera and saw something strange. Then I saw that it looked like a knife,” Bouwmeester told Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet.

He says the eagle took the knife home.
