This is called a Srbosjek; it was apparently adapted from a wheat sheaf knife by Ustachists in Croatia to kill Serbs in concentration camps. Allegedly, there were even contests (specifically at Jasenovac) for how many Serbs could be killed by one Croat in a single day. The record was held by guard Petar Brzica, who claimed to have killed 1,360 in a single day. And, yes, that knife was fixed to that metal plate specifically so the person using it wouldn't be injured. I'm sure at some point, I'm going to find a way to incorporate that elegant monstrosity into a story.
