What's The Strangest Knife You Own?

[Triton]

This is the strangest blade I own and was a gift.

Looks almost like a leather swivel knife in blade profile if not in size.

This looks very similar to some antique Italian folders. Love the blade shape.

I believe it is called scimitar? I love choppers and I wish I had a full-size chopper (this one has a 6.5" blade, OAL 12.5") of that shape — very blade-heavy

The tiger knife was possibly one of the first knives I bought. Which was purposely designed to attract teenage boys in the 90s.

The Blade of Woe

But does it weigh the canonically correct 7 pounds?

 

[TENDONCUTTER]

The F.L.O.D. AKA "Gut Shovel"
Another one of my older design concepts. Sharp all the way around with a convex belly a concave catch and a shredder ripper of a hawksbill tip. Flat, low profile, and mighty wide.
This one was made of G10 and Titanium with carbide.
A Warren Thomas execution. My name isn't on the blade, but if you see one floating about, you know where the concept originated.
Anyone have one?
VAGO

Had this one since 6th or 7th grade. Way way way back

Way, way, way cool too!

I guess it's this War Toad friction folder designed by Tuff Knives in a colaboration with Boker.

Titanium and G10 scales, titanium back spacer, 440C blade steel, 2" chisel/hollow ground blade. It has quite thick blade stock for such a diminutive beast.

"modern" style slip joints are kind of weird...

 

[Glenn Goodlett]

This VC Edge is pretty strange. Mostly carbon fiber except for a strip of 20CV for the blade and lock bar insert and a few titanium parts.

Probably the bottom one is the picture; an old Seber Tool keychain knife. Chisel grind, razor sharp and it locks! One of the other tools must be partially opened to disengage the lock. I had this in one of my pocket survival kits and it may or may not fly with me frequently

I have this one - I know that it is very old but I don't know where it was made and how long ago. If somebody knows anything about please let me know.
Thanks!

Thank you David! I already did but nobody could tell me anything about it. Anyway it is the strangest knife I own and I hope to find some info about it some day

This free knife from BladeHQ giveaway (bought a couple OKC and they sent me it free)... look at that grind and the buttonlock with no flipper... actually a very nice action which must be bearings... nice detent and using the button as the means to open and close is fun but the blade does bounce out of closed when flipped back, no bueno. Does not feel like a free knife of even a $50 knife to me - apparently it is a $50 knife. I will take this China knife since it was free. Another fidget toy like my Civivi Cogent... I play with them at home once a year where no one can see.

Both the OKC's are kinda weird too

I just posted this on another thread, but it does seem to belong here. It's one I've been scratching my head over for a pretty long while:



The handle looks very much like the ones on M7 bayonets, but the pommel, guard and saber flat-ground blade are mysteries. (The handle is quite loose, btw.) My best guess is that everything but the plastic handle is all that's left of a WWII Kinfolks, or perhaps Williams, 6-inch fighting/utility knife. Both They made quite a few with saber flat-ground blades.

==============================================

Follow-up: I just took the knife out and had another gander in bright daylight. There, and very faintly, was the word "Burket" in a semi-circle around the "bottom" of the round pommel. It appeared to have been put on at the factory. I can find references to Burkett and Burke, but not Burket.

And the blade is saber-ground, not flat-ground. I was relying on my memory, and the picture. Bad decision! This realization changed much of what I wrote before, as noted by the corrections above.

Kind of looks like a Kabar or Colonial or similar MKI / Mark I with a regrind and rehandle. It could have been a rotted stacked leather version that someone rehandled... they are flat ground and it looks like it may have been a regrind if it was a MKI. Could also just be someones project custom... there are people here that will do rehandles of take a mil blank and design handles, etc... I have a MORA blade that someone rehandled for me on a gun forum and I just bought a Kabar clone that's a custom with micarta handles that looks like stacked leather style, etc... probably someone's project. In the Buck group there are 119's that had the stacked leather removed and they rehandle with all kinds of things like wood from recurve bows, etc...
