I'd still like to know what type of knife this is...

Looks to be some Albino morph of one of the Gymnotus
 
That is a compsaraia compsa knife fish I don’t think it has a common name. Many of these weird knives get labeled as whatever they look like. The males are very different from the females and almost look like a different species.

This is a the knife the that is commonly called a duck head knife or duck bill. I have 3 of them the male is the one in the video the female is in the rock pile and the other female is in the sump because the other 2 beat the crap out of her. She is perfectly happy in the sump and healed up just fine.
