Default Identification of unusual knife in the news?
Photo taken in Raqqa, Syria, on June 30, 2014, shows an ISIL anti-aircraft gunner brandishing a large knife.

Knife appears to have a clipped point, sawtooth spine, blade pierced in decorative pattern in two places, metal crossguard, wooden hilt, metal pommel.

Is this a recognized style or pattern with which anyone is familiar?
