This was described by the writer in Blade magazine as a oilcloth knife.

Regardless of what it is, it speaks to me.

And I don't know why......

But I love it.

Hmmm. Kind of has the "let's put on white robes and cut the sacred mistletoe" feel to it. I think I like it too.
 
This looks like it's meant for a pulling or drawing cut. I once saw something similar in a vineyard. This one looks like it has plenty of stories to tell.

Yeah, this knife was in an article about knives made to be held edge up.

Spot on, a good number of stories to tell.

And that almost sacred feel.

Yeah.

It looks very similar to the old "corn-knives" alot of the old-time farmers used around these parts. Except most of them have a longer handle.

It also looks alot like the tool that was used to torture William Wallace in Braveheart!

Could it maybe be an old patch-knife? For blackpowder? It looks like it might have been made out of an old, broken sickle?

Seems like a possibility, at least...
