What is this Pakistani knife?

[Skinnydude]

So I Recently bought this off of a friend and neither of us have any idea what it is. If anyone does have information on it, I would be very grateful. The only markings is the worn Pakistan mark. Thank you!

Tourist knife, not practical at all.

It's a smatchet that got into a fight with an angle grinder.

I believe it is for the indecisive cheese aficionado.

Wow I was not expecting responses so fast. I figured it wasn't practical, I was going to put it on my wall. Thanks for the hilarious responses lol.

That’s what I would do. Kinda cool looking but impractical as a knife.

You could hang Christmas decorations on it, roast marshmallows over a fire, store necklaces/bracelets on it.....

It is probably a (cheap) copy of some ceremonial or mystical knife from their culture. Might be worth a little research in your spare time.

Google Image search comes up dry but it could possibly be a one-off fantasy movie prop.

I just experienced a small seizure at the thought of sharpening that thing.

For serving hors d’oeuvres.

Clearly it has 12 different edges so that you can use each one a month at a time and then just sharpen the whole thing at the end of the year. With that in mind, should make a nice EDC.

I will strongly second the Christmas Tree idea now I want one so I can tell my wife I'm pulling out the Christmas Knife.

That would make a nice EDC, if not for the serrations.

It's the ancient WHMIS symbol for "flammable".

 

[Skinnydude]

You guys are great lol. It is now safely hanging on my wall.

Poseidon had his Trident, his little brother Peteseidon who never gets any recognition carries the Chandelier Dagger.

 

[Reitwagen]

I would jab it in the ceiling and hang belts or necklaces from it.

Pakistani Pickle Poker? More effective than a North Carolina pickle fork if you have a wide mouth jar. On the other hand, it could be a toenail trimmer, what with 5 blades on each side and a cuticle trimmer at the end.

Looks like a piece of fantasy art in Mohammad Hibben fashion. (Pakistani Gil Hibben knockoff.) Did this come with a poster?

This looks like a modern production of a sword catching parrying dagger. Like a sword breaker or trident dagger. I suspect that knife is more of a novelty modern production and less of a historical pattern reproduction.
