Knives are one of the most versatile tools of all times. They are used everyday in the kitchen for chopping up chicken and for fine detailing small fruits. Campers use them to cut rope and clean fish. Most soldiers and rescue personnel would not be caught without one. Some knives are kept just for the collector's value.

Where did the bayonet originate?
I would guess that it orignated in the revolutionary war, though it might be able to be traced back to England or France too, considering the fact that it sounds foreign. The bayonet is most likely named after the city of Bayonne in France where it may have originated, as this city specialized in knives. European armies definitely used them before the Revolutionary War, maybe 1740's or earlier.

What is a Kullenschliff knife?
Kullenschliff knives have a series of alternating scallops ground into both sides of the blade. These tiny grooves reduce drag on the knife, resulting in a paper-thin and incredibly smooth cut. The tiny grooves also allow food to slide off the knife without sticking. Kullenschliff knives are sometimes referred to as hollow edge or granton edge knives. Granton edges have semi-circular scallops ground into the edge that alternate on either side of the knife and extend from the edge to the middle of the blade. This edge was designed and patented in 1928 by Granton Ragg Ltd. kullenschliff (kulle is Swedish for hill; schliff means sharpened in German), has oval scallops (kullar) hollowed-out of one or both sides of the blade above the edge. The design of scallop-sided blades is an attempt to ease the cutting and separation of meats, cheese, and vegetables.
How does a switchblade knife work?
A real switchblade knife uses a spring loaded blade hidden inside the hollow handle and a release lever. When the release lever (i.e. switch) is flipped the spring rapidly forces the blade from the hollow handle into position for use and the blade latches on a catch that is part of the release lever. To put the blade back in the hollow handle the release lever is moved to unlatch the catch and the tip of the blade is pressed against a hard surface to compress the spring again. The image shows one of these switchblade knives with the release lever clearly visible.
