I have been watching The Last Kingdom lately and can't get past how odd Uhtred's knife looks. This style knife is a Seax and looks like a reverse tanto.

Like this :







But I want to start a thread of odd looking/styles of knives of all types.

Busse's Shiva Rex is the oddest looking knife I have EVER seen!

Yeah, that is sort of strange looking. Oh well, to each their own.

I guess it's good for cutting grapefruits and such.

I love a nice seax, in fact I am thinking of getting a custom one made once things settle down.
For centuries they were a utility knife in Europe

The ulu is a funny shaped knife but very handy once you get used to them

My wife was born in Alaska and uses an Ulu for all her meal preparation.

Funny thing is that there are a number of knives from different cultures that resemble the ulu
I used to know an Inuit that first showed me the value of an ulu back in the late 1980's
One day I will pick one up, when processing moose, I use my norsehawk in a similar fashion to an ulu (it also works great on the pelvis)

Ulu Knife

When was the last time you got a moose? Dressed how much do they weigh, it hast to be close to 800 after skinning and gutting right.

The one that my brother and I got last year, when we took the 4 quarters into the butcher, ranged from 187 to 240 lbs if I remember correctly.
I think the biggest one I got in Northern BC was easily a 1000lbs
I think that one, all 4 quarters were over 200lbs each
