Dungeon knife
The deluxe weapon for every adventurer. A short sword with a small extra dimesional space in the handle.
The sword blade, cross guard, and handle are all forged from a single piece of metal, making the sword very sturdy and durable. The blade is slim and solid, with a wide blood groove and a keen edge. The cross gaurd is a simple square horizontal bar with the tips beveled to a rough point. The handle is a thick walled pipe sections wrapped in large twisted wire for a tight grip. The wire has been heated and beaten onto the handle to weld it together, so it will never slip off.
The pommel is a large and wide hexagon and can be twisted to slide off. When pulled, it reveals that the pommel is attatched to a 15 inch metal rod, and can be used as a hammer or club. The space inside the the handle is and extra dimesional space. To retrieve soemthing from the space, the user reaches into the space just like a bag of holding, but thier arm is shrunk to fit inside the handle. Objects drawn from the space return to normal as they are drawn out.
These blades can be driven into wood or the cracks and crevasies in stone and will support the weight of an average adventure and some gear. Most blades are found with some rope and nails and other common gear inside.
Magical Properties:
Hollow handle can hold up to 3 cubic feet of gear. Opening has a shrink effect on things placed against it to allow objects up to 10 inches across to be placed into the handle. Objects stored do not change the sword's weight.

Sounds like 'The dagger for any climber'
by the way this submission also proves to me that I was right about 'the pommel of a sword' and where that is attached to the sword.
Many thanks for this funny (and practical item)
Something from the Waybac.
Not normally up to Agar's normal standards. It is a good idea, but the execution of the post leaves me a bit cold.
Useful for mountian climbers.
First thought was, "Oh boy, another extradimensional item." Not sure why I have an aversion to them.
The climbing part is what interested me and the ability to use it as a hammer. That is new.
I had a hollow-bladed 'rambo knife' when I was a kid. It sucked - the hollow made the handle weak and easily broken.
The idea of a knife of storing is not a bad idea, but as moon has said, the presentation needs work.
Spellcheck is needed on this, see "To retrieve soemthing from the space, the user reaches into the space just like a bag of holding, but thier arm is shrunk to fit inside the handle." for two typos in one sentance, not to mention the typo in the summary text.
This could be good, but needs work.
