Have you seen anything like this before?

[whereismyknife]

I recently bought a knife and wanted to share it with you because it seemed so interesting and incredibly ridiculous to me. This is a monobloc or integral knife (Blade and handle are made of one piece of steel), whatever you call it. I've never seen anything like this before. I paid $100 for this thing and a some junks (three throwing knives a push dagger and a neck knife all strapped into the sheath of this knife, the guy I bought it from is preparing for a post apocalyptic world I guess) I didn't photograph these because they were garbage, but if anyone wants, I can share a photo.

The teeth along the spine are a safety feature. The prevent you from stabbing something too deep.

That is definitely interesting….

It looks like it would be hard to cut with, but as a knife-like metal sculpture it’s nicely done.

I haven't tried cutting anything, but I tested it now. It's definitely not easy, but interestingly, it's not difficult either.

Looks a drywall knife from the first pic.

With useless teeth pointing the wrong way

I do have a drywall knife with the teeth pointing that way. It cuts on the “ In” stroke so most of the dust a debris goes into the wall. Real great feature for those of us doing resi service work!

I actually like it .... teeth are pointed the right way for push sawing like in a normal saw, the big hilt will protect your hand from slipping onto the blade when you push. And there is a choil on the saw side for your index finger.

I thought it was a safety feature that prevented too much stabbing. So many features it has Thanks to you, I'm learning all of this.

If the question is, 'Have we seen a knife with a pointy front, one sharp edge and one sawtooth edge ?". . .the answer is yes.

The first I heard of that configuration was a reference to a WW-I era "Engineer's Bayonet". I would guess that something like that had been done well before WW-I though.

I was thinking the same thing.

It's very interesting. What was surprising to me was that the knife was made from a single piece of steel. Now it's even more surprising.

What's the handle made of?
Is the blade magnetic?
Dive knife?

As I wrote in the thread, it is monoblock, that is, one piece of steel.
Yes Every part is magnetic
I definitely don't think the knife is a diving knife because it weighs 3 pounds.

Gotcha.
Suppose it could be a high school/community college CAD/CNC project?

I don't know, maybe. I think it was heat treated. It has high hardness. The blade edge is quite sharp.

No idea, but it looks like it was cast. Casting seam going down the back of the guard and handle, from the two halves of the mold.

Interesting. I like it. Definitely a conversation piece.

That makes sense. How else can I confirm this? The hole on the handle looks like it was opened with a drill, I can see the teeth inside.

I'm just going by sight. I considered the possibility of drop-forging, but drop-forging produces a wide "seam" (parting line), whereas casting produces a very narrow seam, like on your knife.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see a hole in the handle.
