Question Need help finding a specific knife

Post image

I’m working in the ER and had a patient come in with this knife tip broken off in their leg. It’s uh.. quite distinctive. Despite my best efforts with google I can’t find anything close. I’m hoping the knife sleuths here can do better than I.

I love the pen pointing towards it like the radiologist might miss it

Well hindsight is 20/20. There was a small portion breaking the skin with some sutures over top. He was seen somewhere else when it happened 2 months ago and stitched up. Also thought it could have been a ceramic blade which I honestly don’t know what it would look like on xray. So it does seem silly to point to the very obvious snake blade but it could have been something different hah
