Hi Rebwa - I know little about the curved knife. I was given it by my mother when I was a teenager as part of a butchering kit that she bought from an old hunter at a garage sale. I store it in a split piece of fire hose and use it for skinning big game. It is carbon steel and sharpens easly to a very sharp edge. I see them for sale on the back cover of "Backwoodsman" Magazine.

Got to go!
