looks like a fancy butter or cheese knife, that section in the middle should make for perfect curls
it looks like someone wanted to make a groove or plough plane from a butter knife base?

Maybe when you rest it on the side of the butter dish, that protrusion allows it to hold on versus sliding off and getting butter smear on the table? I know other “master” butter knives have an upward bend in the blade to keep it off the table surface.
THAT'S the most logical answer I've heard!
EDIT: Very interesting knife!

What about tactical butter knives? Round tips wouldn't be of any use on those.Butter knives are unsharpened and have a round tip.

You may be on to something, but I would think the bump-out would be on the other side of the blade for right-handed use.Maybe it is a cheese knife and the bump-out is to force the slices outward so they don’t stick?
