Historically, there are a variety of combination knife/gun/knuckles combination weapons, typically made in the late 19th century. This one is…rather larger than most of those. This is a combination knife/gun with a pair of percussion-fired 12mm smoothbore barrels, a roughly 5.25 inch folding knife blade, and a pair of slim corkscrew-style folding triggers that drop down when each hammer is cocked. The whole assembly is made to evoke an old fashioned antler-paneled pocket knife, except that it is made with a substantial pistol grip at one end instead of a folding grip of some type.

California self defense laws basically, but this isn’t California compliment because the blade is longer than 2”. Also if they count that as a bayonet then it’s an assault weapon because bayonets and grenade launchers are considered on the same level for “assault features”, not that it’s on the tiny list of allowed pistols on the approved roster anyways...

Ah, finally, the legendary knife gun gun
so this is a short double barrel black powder shotgun with a pocketknife stuck to the front of the gun and two corkscrews in case you need them? Beautiful, I'd buy this thing when it was made.

This gun quite literally has a “blade sight”
Ian: Knife Pistol Japanese army: Pistol with a Bayonet
Can't see anything ever going wrong trying to open a wine bottle with the trigger of a gun.
Puts a whole new meaning to blade sight.
It's a cool concept that had promise with just a bit more engineering! Would love to know more about it, and where the inventor was going with the design
I've been digging into this thing, and I've found a couple of things. 1: I found what appears to be this exact gun in a Cowan's auction that ended may 7th, 2020. Lot #462 on invaluable dot com. 2: I've found Unwin Rogers knife guns that look very similar, and there seems to be a bit of mechanical variance between pieces, so it within the realm of what to expect from them. I wonder if this was a custom or prototype Unwin Rogers pistol. A prototype could explain why there isn't any markings when there normally would be multiple. I can't find the patent documents though, so I can't confirm if it was for the patent.
That's something to use for my worldbuilding project. Thanks!
The protruding blade allows you to check the knife's sharpness whilst aiming the barrels. If you miss with both shots, you'll be certain the blade will be able to finish then off!

I struggle to believe anyone would think that's an "awesome" gun/knife
All the self defense capability of a cork screw, with the wine bottle opening capability of a pistol, AND the down range capability of a knife, wrapped up into one completely unergonomic package.
The corkscrew on the trigger. When you absolutely need to ice a dude at 8 and drink wine at 8:01.
I really enjoy these shorter videos from time to time
For the ultimate EDC pocket dump picture.
"For size comparison here's a gun most of you have probably never seen in person."
Ian's little grin as he was doing the intro with this nonsense in frame was adorable lol
Even if someone on the receiving end doesnt die from being shot or stabbed, they could be poisoned from the lead residue coating the blade
Now we need a shotgun-fishing rod-buck saw-axe.

The correct answer to "you brought a gun to a knife fight?"
Those antler handle knives are EVERYWHERE in Scotland, I never would have thought anyone would think of them as "vintage".
When I first saw this, I immediately thought of that scene from scrubs “knife wrench”
One can technically recreate these things either by using something like a Taurus Judge or a double barreled shotgun and mount a blade on it.
"There's no safe way to carry this thing capped" You could have just left the word capped off the end of that sentence. This is terrifying. I love how you could easily stick your thumb when reaching for the hammers.
As either a firearm or a knife, I wouldn't give two cents for this item, but as a conversation piece, openly displayed for visitors to discover and inquire about it has potential value.
"Shouldn't of brought a knife to a gun fight" *Folds knife back*
"I started carving this piece of wood to replace the arm on my rocking chair but, well... one thing led to another."
The Janitor from Scrubs introduced us to "Knife-Wrench, for kids! ®™", now Ian shows us Knife-Gun. Shiny.
I read somewhere that the main use of a pistol bayonet is that it makes it more difficult for someone to snatch the gun off you.

There's a similar gun used in the movie called Return of Sabata staring Lee Van Cleef except it's a single barrel. Its has the knife and also the knuckle buster. Great shot of it towards the end of the movie.
My hand is bleeding just looking at this thing.
The only knife to bring to a gunfight.
Inertia is how to open the knife and the cork screws. Tap the underside of the barrel and they swing open. Give that blade a flick. Carry it in a holster.
"Looks like you've brought a knife to a gun fight" Actually I've brought a knife gun to gun fight
The triggers look like they're repurposed woodscrews rather than a spiral style corkscrew
Been watching too much Joerg Sprave. I was expecting Ian to say "Let me show you it's features" and laugh on top of it.
My uncle had a real one of these. He bought it for a chocolate bar from his ration when he was in Berlin as part of the army of occupation in 1946. He used it exclusively as a corkscrew. A fascinating thing, although he swore it was 18th century and not 19th.
For a moment I thought we were going to get a "Let me show you its features" there.
You can feel his excitement lately!
Old 1950's era magazines such as Popular Science, Popular Mechanics, Mechanics Illustrated, etc. had homemade, one of a kind, project guns that occasionally readers wrote articles about. This looks like a more talented project gun from that era possibly. (BTW wasn't just limited to guns, readers made robots, electric cars, bizarre 50's -ish contraptions, yet all showing imagination and talent.)
I am addicted to Firearms, but this is the reason I started really watching this channel. Amazing weapons. Can't wait to see what Ian wields in the new John Wick. I'm guessing a Calico XD
