Special Purpose Knife: 5 Unusual Blades Used by Professionals

The knife is one of the most ancient and at the same time invariably demanded tools in various areas of the human economy. Most knives are similar to each other like twins and have a rather trivial shape. Nevertheless, there are also very rare, specific and even special samples. Most of the "special" knives are designed to perform some non-standard household tasks. First of all, this is the origin of their unusual shape, as well as an unusual design.

1. "Guimyakesh"

It may seem that a knife with such a bizarre shape is nothing more than a highly artistic craft. However, in reality, giymyakesh is an exclusively utilitarian instrument. The unusual spirals on the noses of these knives are needed to change the balance of the tool in a specific enough way to make cutting easier. In addition, the specific shape protects the giymyakesh from getting stuck in the wooden block on which the meat is chopped. Professional butcher-masters in Turkey and Azerbaijan know how to wield two of these at once.

2. Boatswain's knife

At first glance, the boatswain's knife seems like an ordinary penknife. But actually it is not. This marine instrument has one very specific detail, namely the presence of a hefty metal needle that can be removed from the handle of the instrument. This needle is called "pile" and it is designed to untie a variety of rope knots. This is because not every knot can be untied on a yacht or ship with bare hands.

3. Kukri

On the one hand, the kukri does not need additional introduction, as it is a very popular and well-known knife. On the other hand, not everyone knows why they need it. Since ancient times in Nepal, the kukri has been a military weapon and, as you might guess, was also used to kill people. At the same time, the kukri was also an economic tool, which, due to the peculiarities of the shape of the blade, was ideal for cutting "everything", including forest thickets and reeds. Although the first appointment for the kukri is still the main one. The knife is still used as a weapon in the security forces of a number of Asian countries.

4. "Magurokiri"

Think you have a fish knife in your kitchen? The Japanese will surely laugh with such a roofing. Because the real knife (and with a capital letter) for working with fish is "Magurokiri". Compare this tool with a hefty straight razor. The blade length of this "knife" is usually 1 meter. You need one to work with the largest fish, so Magurokiri is unlikely to find a worthy application for itself in an ordinary home kitchen.

5. Hoof knife

The name of this knife speaks for itself, although hardly most people, in principle, guessed that such a knife even existed. This tool is used to clean the hooves of domestic animals, primarily horses, less often - cattle, sheep and rams. With a knife, you can not only remove dirt, but also trim crooked, uneven or damaged areas of the hooves. Such a hygienic procedure is necessary so that the livestock does not experience discomfort while walking and does not get sick.
