curious forged tip.

I'm with you on this Tim, the example I have does not look like it was abused, it looks like it has always been that way. Perhaps penetration power was not considered the primary function of these (I still would not like one poked into my rib cage bent tip or not). The example I have is quite small more of a utility knife than a serious weapon.

Hi everybody,

I also have a quite similar example, exept that the blade is perfectly straight and a little bit shorter. It looks like a simple knife, maybe a self-defense one, but surely not a attack dagger : the blade is too thin and forged in a very average quality steel.
