Whilst taking our morning walk, I found a knife like this one laying on the side of the road.

Never seen anything quite like it.

What is the purpose of the concave blade?

Cutting open the gut on a deer, elk. Down the legs, neck so it can be skinned easier.

Ah. Thank you.

I should state that it is for cutting the skin but not the gut sack. That round nub slides between the two, in theory. I use a fricken 2 dollar boning knife.

Oh wow, an actual "buck" knife, interesting.
