Does anyone know what style this knife is? Basically I'm curious about the cut out in the blade matching the cut out in the handle.

Possibly a crimper for dynamite caps?

That is pretty interesting. I've been looking up cigar cutting knives. But nothing was like that. Prolly why I can't find anything on it. Cool stuff.

I think you’re right. One way to check is to check the cut out diameter. Standard blasting caps are just under 1/4”.
Really cool knife.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find anything from the archived stuff on the net.
