12OT Why would the blade be this shape

Schrade Cutlery Company was founded in 1904 by George Schrade, and his brothers Jacob and William Schrade. In 1946 Imperial Knife Associated Companies, (IKAC; an association of Ulster Knife Co and Imperial Knife Co) purchased controlling interest in Schrade Cut Co and changed the name to Schrade Walden Cutlery. In 1973 the name was changed to Schrade Cutlery. In 2004 Schrade closed due to bankruptcy.

This forum is dedicated to the knives that are the legacy of this company. This forum is not the place to discuss the replica knives currently being imported using the Schrade name.

12OT Why would the blade be this shape

Why would the blade be this shape.Is there a set purpose for this blade or has someone modify for their own use. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Schrade ... 589632aa74

Someone did terrible things to that knife.
I can see no reason whatsoever for doing that to a perfectly good knife! ::dang::
