Unusual fixed blades
From Takumitak - designed in the USA and crafted in China.
I showed this one awhile back:
I was just given this one and it came with FDE replacement scales which we used immediately:
I have a thing for tanto blades so I love this puppy. They are inexpensive for the quality in evidence.
This M8 isn't unusual but I just uploaded the picture, although maybe I did it before, so I'm just dropping it in here because it's a fairly recent acquisition:

The most unusual fixed blade knife I own is probably this...
The KA-BAR ZOMSTRO Chopper. Released by KA-BAR during the height of the zombie craze when everyone was cashing in on the success of various forms of entertainment featuring flesh-eating reanimated cadavers, this big hunk of 1095CV Steel is the perfect bladed weapon to round out your fantasy zombie apocalypse loadout.
Or more practically speaking, you can use it for yardwork, I suppose...

Re that Zombie Chopper, I have a sugar cane knife, like a short machete, made from a Toyota shock spring, bought in Hilo, Big Island, about 20 years back, that, every now and then, proves useful.
I think for a zombie whacker, would be ideal.

The last blade is a M5 bayonet for the M1 rifle. The sheath is the M8A1 model.

I prefer the ZombieSlasher. But then I'm a traditionalist.

I don't suppose this one is too "unusual" but it's the best I've got. Unlike guns, I tend to hold onto knives.
Made by a guy from Varina, Virginia, named Ben Shelor. I had it made about 40 years ago. I carried it many a mile back when I was still deer hunting, and it's skinned more than few. A few of which I actually killed myself.

I don’t have a lot of knives. I carried Canadian Trapper for years deer hunting. I designed a blade back in 60s that finally got made by Meyer in Texas in 1970, this was my bear & moose skinner for Canadian trips. Last is little skinner I made, just right for dropping most anything out of it’s birthday suit.

Here’s my Negrito Machete from the Philippines.
The Negritos are a Tribal People who live on Luzon and other places.
I bought it from a Negrito who was working at the Jungle Survival School Snack Bar.

Nothing too unusual about this knife other than it's got a 10½-inch blade with the inscribed words, "...and my vengeance shall fall upon thine enemies."

Myers custom knife made from rusted leaf spring pink ivory wood handles
Query - are these names simply similar and not the same guy? Myers died some years ago, sadly.
Toner custom knife with pocket sheath
Fixed blades Cold Steel Laredo Bowie 2 custom knives 1 Frontier knife refinished (that one was lost in my 2018 fire)
As opposed to recent acquisitions, which is where I started, these last three pix show fixed blade knives have been with me for awhile.....

I think I still have invoice. I had designed blade in 7th grade this was before custom knives kicked off.I sent pattern to 3 smiths that were advertising in gun rags. They didn’t want to make it they were peddling there own designs. I ended up in Texas in 70 and Steve took the job. I didn’t get to see the knife for better than 17 months I got sent overseas.
Here is flip side where it says Steve’s knives- Alvin, Texas.

Oh, that reminds me, here's an unusual knife with a semi-unusual gun...
The Buck 639 Fieldmate — basically a smaller version of the Buckmaster 185LT — with a California Highway Patrol S&W 4006TSW.
