*** I think the hands presented to him in the box are largely meant to be symbolic, an idea of what the inventor will be giving him. I also don't think Edward actually kills the inventor - all he does is touch his face with a blade and he doesn't react - As Edward later tells Peg, '''"He didn't wake up,"'''. At some point in the film we also see some pages and overlays for Edward's design, which appear to suggest that he was basically a modified version of one of the chopping robots we see.
