Evenki knifes or Yakut knifes from north/East Siberia have a strange blade. Se pictures here:

The right side if the blade are flat with a big deep fuller, the left side have a convex edge or a flat edge.
I do not know the reason for this blade design - but I like to know
The people that use this knife work with reindeers and they hunt and fish and work a lot in wood and antler.
I have live like that for many years and I can guess some funktions... When working in wood some times I use the knife as a plain. This blade design work like a plain with its flat That make this knife more useful in my mind - but it is a guess, nothing more.
The big fuller I do not understand - but it is of cause a reason for it.
The left side have Scandi grind and convex edge mostly = it make this knife work as a normal knife for right handed people.
Someone who knows more about this type of knife?
