Ten weirdest blades on the planet?

I'm surprised this one hasn't come up yet. I'd love to get one, myself:

The Kora

I'd love to see some test cutting done with one on sides of beef and ballistic gel dummies. They look fearsome.

Please look at my avatar: the Laz Bichaq.
You cannot align the blade with its supposed target ( the enemy), but the bifurcated , humongous horn pommel will sure as hell gouge you own eyes.
Also, the size of the scabbard prevents you from bending, turning around or tucking a functional knife ( just in case!!!) under the belt.
Beautifully exotic and nigh useless: an analog of the AMC Gremlin.

I've seen one of those used at Dashain in Nepal, poor Buffalo didn't stand a chance.

I'll toss one of these into the mix.

used in close quarters. such as getting a friend out of the middle of a battle, or making room in the supermarket line... and it sure gets 'em out of your way at the post office!

Radleigh, thanks!

The URL of the link that must have been ".com" before is now ".co.il". So here now is the link.

And I'd be one of the many who surely appreciates Artzi's website, which retains as part of the photo gallery even the sold items
