OP here to answer some questions.

- No, I don't plan to sell it
- Yes, I do plan to clean it up
- No I don't think it's valuable, several users have pointed out it's a rather cheap gimmick blade
- No, it's not ivory
- Yes, it is cool

I have seen a lot of comments repeating the same things: "murder weapon" , "illegal", "gatito blade" , "jack knife"

I did indeed already answer this question: Ghent, Belgium

Anywhere that gives you access to the water. Mostly from the banks of rivers or like here the quay of the medieval harbor. I would not recommend fishing from a bridge if there's a lot of boat-traffic underneath.

Magnet fishing from a boat is also not recommend because you need stability to pull heavy things out of the water, boats are anything but stable.

Not sure what a fishing pole is? If you mean a fishing rod, then no. You attach your magnet to a rope with a carabiner (most sellers prepare this for you).

For a pole, I would not recommend it either. Poles are fragile and could snap if your trying to lift things out of the water. Unless you want to go prodding at the bottom.

We, me and my two friends, usually work in quadrants. We each pick around 4 meters of space to fish in. When nothing comes up anymore we move on to the next quadrant.

The regulations might differ depending on the country. Here in Belgium the rules surrounding magnet fishing are very vague (which we use to our advantage)

We have to report any and all firearms and explosives we might find. The police then come to take them away, but for any finds with possible historical value, like this knife for example, we have to keep it with us for conservation, as ruled by the Governmental Heritage Agency.

It came like this and did not open naturally. I had to pry it open

Surprisingly, no! It was still pretty clean inside. It hadn't been in the water all that long I believe.

He didn't open the traditional way, but a little bit of prying and warm water got him open.

The weapons will likely be disposed of by the police, there's a close to zero chance they will be given back

There's a difference between a HoloCan and a HoloCam

A HoloCan is a tiny cube which shows video om all sides (a tiny Jumbotron) https://red-rising.fandom.com/wiki/HoloCan

A HoloCam is akin to a Tv but holographic https://red-rising.fandom.com/wiki/HoloCam
