This looks familiar...

This may have been mentioned before but I wonder where they got the inspiration for this ....... (or do I just have knives on the brain )

It's the Falkirk Wheel, a designer boat lift in Scotland. Now, how does the thumb hole come into play...

 

[Phade]

What?

 

[cziv]

What?

Could it be Karambit on the brain?

I think he has Spyderco hawkbill blades on the brain...?

We'll lift your boat and if you give us any lip, we'll cut you adrift!

 

[FortyTwoBlades]

Bwahaha!

 

[Tony8179]

What?

That's what I was thinking. I see, but I don't "see" it.

 

[freedoom]

looks kind of like a stylized boat propeller to me.

 

[GIRLYmann]

looks great as a masochist's can opener.

 

[Smash05]

It vaguely looks like the Comet opener on the Byrd Line.

Ok, ok, I guess I shoulda put this in the Spydie forum for max effect. I was watching a show on elegant engineering and after spending the last few days looking at some of the new Spydies coming out, along with a lot of the old ones this just made me do a double take.
Not that it looked like any particular model but that it had totally riffed on Spyderco designs.(although maybe if you squint it looks like a short reverse Chinook )

And if you're not into Spydie's at all this didn't make much sense I realize- dohp!

 

[Helle]

Reminds me of a Wyoming knife.
