   	I've got an old Schrade "rope knife".  This is a fist sized   
   slip joint with a heavy sheep's foot type blade.  It's sometimes   
   called a "horticulture knife".   
      
   	This one is beveled only on the left side, like a Japanese   
   knife.  The blade is pretty full so I don't think it's from bad sharpening.   
   Is this by design or did someone regrind it that way, and why would they   
   do that?  I've never seen it on a knife of this type.  (I know it makes   
   it "sharper" by reducing the edge angle, but it also effects handling and   
   just seems wierd)
