Officers unearthed the kitchen knife, a number of dealer bags containing spice and some packets of cannabis when they carried out a search at Ellesmere Green in Burngreave.
The search was conducted after residents had voiced concerns about anti-social behaviour on the green, where they complained people were often seen using the drug spice around the seating area.
