    I believe the curved blade comes from the freezing works industry as a skinning knife
    look to our rural past we had sheep farmers who wouls slaughter and skin sheep nearly daily for food and dog tucker,deer cullers and private shooters skinned deer in the thousands so we sort of grew up/got used to using them.
    personally I prefer a straighter blade the green river "bushmans friend" was a great knife now thats just their boner knife.
