Could have been made for "blade-tech"? The markings on it look similar to their logo

Indeed my friend, I don't disagree. Op just said he didn't know much about it. To me it looks similar to a kiridashi, albeit a modern version with a different handle orientation. Knowing it's design history would help understand its intended uses.
