Thanks for your answer 
Text inside the fuller is a modern thing - and this is a old traditional knife. I so not know what languish the Yakot people speak - and I so not know if this languish is only a talking languish or if they also can write the languish. Many languish innthein part of the world are only talking languish.
the blacksmith say that the blade slide better becouse of the fuller bexouse less friction. It can be a explanation - but I am not sure that it is the correct answer... Slide better against what material?
This people is a arctic people,mthey live on the taiga (where there is trees) and they live also north of the taiga (where there is no trees at all) they use two sizes of knife depends onnInyerne they live - and both sizes have this big fuller... So I think there is more to the big fuller then friction...
in the olde days it must have been a lot of extra work to make this big fuller, it is a big hard jobb to do - so the fuller must be very important for this people - and they are the only people on Earth that have this big fuller on their knifes.
It can be a religius thing (or similar) - it have perhaps nothing to do with the use?
