What characterizes Scandinavian slasher knives, and what are they called in Swedish?

they dont have any swedish name. i just made it up. its a blade i made when i ran out of knives i really had a need for.
i guess the defining characteristics is that they look dangerous and provocative

Now that I think about it more, I suppose that design works fine for Uzbekistani- or Uyghur-style foods too.

The funny looking thing on the bottom left is an oyster knife I made as a Christmas gift. It’s the second one I’ve made and they work extremely well. It makes for a laugh “ one upping” at the oyster roasts which are quite popular where I live. People are already asking for me to make them
