This recent attic find is no good for just about anything I can think of But is it Useless? BTW This knife will cut.

It might be good for skinning a deer or a (dead) Grizzly?

Skinning and gutting a deer is called Gralloching. I lurnt that here on the Bf I think it would be overkill and a tad bit heavy to lug around but you could use it to club a grizzly if you left it in the sheath. I still think it's a better EDC than any Heeter IMO.

That's another possible source for Kephart's Colclesser commission. I've found several now whose blade configuration is similar or the same. The most recent was a very old French Emouleur Thiernois design with an elaborate handle. Yet a third is a traditional Japanese Ainu knife still favored as a modern fisherman's knife.

Land version of the shark "knife" .....

Not true. I used this very blade(s) to chop up veggies for dinner and butter my bread. Worked flawlessly.

I call Shenanigans! That is the epitome of a useless knife but it's still more functional than a MOW Heeter. Edit: IMO

That's a hardhat diving knife. Post it in Collecting & Identification - some people collect those.

More pictures will help identify it.

What's amazing is that no forge, CNC or grinder is needed. Instead the maker just eats all the raw materials and waits for nature to take its course.

Now we all know that the handle is not wood but maker's stabilized shit.

That's it. We're done here.
Closed.

And Cougar Allen is correct as usual.
