This blade is very unique in that the tip of the blade has 4 sharpened sides that come together at the tip. A normal knife only has 2 sharpened sides that form the tip. While most of the top of this blade is still flat so it can be held and used properly, the tip of the blade has extra metal that sticks out of the top of the blade, making the tip larger than the rest of the blade profile. That extra metal is then shaped to be 2 distinct edges, so it mirrors the bottom of the blade. All four edges come together forming a pyramid shape just like a harpoon.

code59656The upper edges are pointed, but not sharpened. It's excellent for penetration.

Harpoon style blades are marked by an upward ramp on the unsharpened back of the blade. This ramp gives the blade the resemblance of a whaling harpoon with its sharp barb, hence the name.
