    This was at a Bach/Crib I was hunting from this week. Any idea's on why the blade shape. It's a Schrade Oldtimer

    The shape is because it's been across a sharpening stone about a thousand times. It was likely a lot longer and not a pig sticker.

What I love about this is the knife has a story and history regarding the design, steel choice and development based in NZ and born on a shitty evening in a hut.

    Shade Sharp Finger was the name that blade was sold under.

    @kotuku check out svord amerikiwu knife..think that's spelt right. Looks very similar to your finger skinner but with funky svord handle,like on peasant knife. @turtleSO the svord Bowie isn't hugely different in handle and guard area,agree a thousand passes( or more) across oil stone would change shape that much.the once common sandstone wheels made for sheep shearing blades were awesome for getting knives sharp,but used too much will eat your blade away quickly.
