Most Bizarre Blade Shape Awards

Is the nightmare grind a PITA to work with and sharpen?

When you reenact scenes from the movie and go 'wuushaaaa!' it must be difficult to chose between Benecio del Toro or Tommy Lee Jones :) :)

NB not the best movie, I ever saw... but not the worst either.

That transition area was a pain to rework.
Not bad once it was reworked, but it's still less easy than a straight blade.

The movie was alright, but I saw it after getting the knife. I got the knife due to people here complaining about it.
Which is exactly what happened with Medford knives too...hey, everybody here needs to stop complaining about knives right now!!! It's costing me too much money! :D
 
probably my favorite oddly shaped knife- spyderco zulu

Its not that it looks bad 'after' but I must say, that I prefer the original blade shape.

The 'hump' suits it and works as a finger rest, I imagine.
 
It's too far forward to be a thumb rest, maybe index finger for fine work? Don't know, but it was useless to me and just increased the profile of the knife. I prefer it removed.

At least you got the knife before seeing the movie.

I bet many/some bought the Tracker knife because of seeing the movie.

I dont own a Tracker but handled that and many other Tops knives ..... I believe at SHOT some years back.

Man, Tops makes some heavy thick knife stock!!

I want the rakish Prather - whether its bizarre or not is in the eye of the beholder

Its certainly a no frills bowie of a different breed.

I badly want the TOPS CUB - if only they would offer it without all the extra gear in the sheath, it just serves to drive up the price.

It's a Carter design.

I wasnt clear enough - should have elaborated; the Böker Cox and Haddock have a similar hump (as Im sure others do as well).

I didnt mean to imply, that the Cox designer is behind your knife.

I just mentioned those, as they were relatively popular folders at some point and with a hump.

Hope that clears up my murky post.

No it isn't. A daggers intended purpose is for putting a hole in the enemy. As I said previously this would make a bigger hole which would cause more damage.

Maybe in the gut for a slow painful death or loooooong recovery. But for a quick, silent death (ya know, what a jagdkommando might need - that's what knife is called, the Jagdkommando), it's a poor chose. A dagger can slash a throat or slip between ribs when stabbed through the chest. The Jagdkommando wouldn't "slip" through ribs, it would get hung up, and the twist would hamper things further.

I sure wouldn't want to be stabbed with one, but between that and, say, a Fairbairn Sykes, I'd say the chances of survival are far greater with the Jagdkommando. Not to mention that 3-sided knives are banned in warfare by international treaty (I forget which one, Hague, Geneva, whatever).
 
Perhaps if we still wore plate armor it would make a good coup de grace weapon? I think it fits this thread although if we include pretty much any blade then there are zillions of knives like The Master that are just pointy shaped metal things for mental masturbation. Perhaps keep it less to the tactilol/fantasy side and more towards knives that the maker intended to be used - which to me is a ton of those weird ZT bent tanto thingies.
