In the late 1800's George Washington Sears (AKA Nessmuk) popularized this syle of hunting and camping knife. I suspect that he refashioned a green river skinner which was popular at that time into something that was made popular because he was one of the first outdoor writers who promoted hunting and camping as a recreational pastime.
