Can Anyone identify The Knife Please?

This knife belonged to my Father. Obviously it is a specialty blade. Can anyone tell me what this knife was used for?

 

looks like a fkeshing knife use to scrape furs

 

not seen one like that before, the bit on the end makes me think its a gutting knife, have seen similar things on modern knives.

 

gut hook looks like fish hook and very sharp that is thick dull lay or wrap hand and used to scrape furs a process called fleshing

 

No, this is not the same. I am familiar with these gut hook knives, but on the knife I have it is not a hook & it is not ground to an edge.

No SSG, the top edge is not ground to a sharp edge.

As you can see this part has not been ground. The back edge appears ground, but in fact it is NOT ground to give a sharp edge, it remains the same as the back of the blade.


Here is the other side. The main part of the blade is ground only on this side to a sharp edge.
