Or as I guess you’re supposed to render it, “MYERCO® BESH Wedge™ Bottle Rocket.” But I think I won’t. Not more than once, anyway.

You’d win no points for guessing that this is a “Besh Wedge” knife, and Besh Knives has this to say about that: “A revolutionary knife grind composed of diagonally opposing bevels converging to create a third cutting edge.”

Okay, so it’s a double edged knife with two chisel grinds of equal depth, which naturally culminate in a slotted, rather than pointed, tip.

Here’s the Bottle Rocket lying flat, so you can see what that looks like. Besh calls this a “third edge,” and it’s really rather the same idea is ye olde Revolutionary War musket bayonet. You know the deal: Poke somebody with it and what they wind up with is supposed to be tough to stitch up.

OoooOOOooo… Depth of field shot.

And yes, the Bottle Rocket is a punch dagger, which is sure to be divisive.

It has almost no utilitarian purpose beyond flipping someone the bird with extreme impunity. This particular type of knife is one the law has a hard-on about just about everywhere, and this one has the trifecta:

It comes in this Kydex sheath designed for use as a neck knife, so it’ll be counted as a concealed whatever-the-hell. As mentioned it’s a punch or “push” knife, which is usually has a home somewhere on the Naughty List, and it’s double edged so it’ll be considered a dirk-or-dagger as well. Basically, you should assume that you can’t carry this anywhere or use it for anything. In some places, probably just looking at it is illegal. But you can own it, and have it in your home. 'Murica.

The Bottle Rocket is a single slab of machined slab of 7cr steel, about 1/8 thick, and about 5" long in total. The machining on the edge is considerably nicer than the machining around the finger hole and the void in the heel, and the whole thing has a bead blasted finish including the edges. I imagine sharpening it and leaving it still looking nice would be a bit of a bugger, so I’ve never tried.

It says “Cheers! Besh” on the back. That’s because you can use the cutout in the heel as a bottle opener. Hence the name, no points for guessing that. You can even do it while the knife is still in its sheath. That’s why I said “almost” about its utilitarian purposes earlier. Also, “cheers” would be the perfect action movie protagonist one-liner after you shanked some mook in the back with this and flipped him over the railing of the catwalk in a dark factory.

The Inevitable Conclusion

This knife is best relegated to curio status only, since it basically amounts to violating the Geneva Convention. Just a the founding fathers intended. Tally-ho, ruffians, and all of that.

It’s not quite the naughtiest knife I own, but it’s probably the meanest thing I’ve got to open a bottle with.
