A larger, lighter, and bloodier mock-up of the Great Knife.
This mock-up is made of a solid pine plank that was originally from a DEP barricade measuring 2"x8"x84". Seven feet was a bit much in terms of length, and the 7.5" breadth was a bit wide, so I had it cut down to six feet in length with a 6" dimensional breadth.
Most of it was carved out with a sawzall since I didn't have access to a proper workshop at the time. Wood filler was used on rougher portions to cover up the grain, and all surfaces were sanded smooth, primed with Krylon spray primer, then given an intial coat of metallic silver.
The rust-effect was done with flat black spray paint and ruddy brown spray primer.
The blood was done with a specially mixed batch of acrylic paint and applied with much care and mess by brush and splatter.
The topcoat is a combination of satin-finish clear lacquer on the main portion of the weapon with a high-gloss clear lacquer on the very bloody spots for a slick, wet, still-fresh look. Incidentally, the two finishes made for a slight color offset that enhanced the fresh-blood vs. dried-blood effect.
In retrospect, I probably should have used the wood filler on the entire weapon to completely eliminate all wood grain.

The common butcher's knife also used to come in a heavy duty industrial size, that is like a gigantic axe, but bigger. The cleaver, which used to be used at slaughterhouses, was used to chop a full carcass in half in one swing, straight through bone. If I could find a picture of one, I'd have a link to show it. Also a possibility. It looks like something that's supposed to be straight out of Silent Hill, if you see one.
In the original Diablo game, you can get the Cleaver, which is like a polearm.

Even just that took forever to find.

As far as your image comparison goes, I think this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:C.....n_cleavers.JPG is the closest you're going to get.
Still uber badass knife. XD
