Here I go with a nother unusual specal use knife. This time it is a "mushroom knife". As the name suggests this is for mushroom harvesting. The curved blade hooks through stems and the brush is used to sweep away any dirt on the caps. As for the ridges I saw both with and without while IDing this knife and am not sure they serve a purpose though they are sharp enough to scrape stuff with. It is a slip joint with a lanyard eye as part of the backspring next to the pivot.
This particular knife was TSA seized so I have no clue who made it. I did find a German websight selling an almost identical one with some sort of ruler like markings on the scales. The only marking on mine is "Stainless" & "Rostfrei" which is kind of redundant saying stainless in two languages but not a maker.
I am not a mushroom hunter but this may see other use if my wife gets her herb garden going.
Pics are with my Vic Trekker for reference.

I used to be a lot of things, and someday will again.
But for now I'm just a lost jack of trades with neither mastery nor home. ~NoaIsumi
