Very sharp knife. Leading edge is like a chisel and blade is curved from use and sharpening. I think it must have been used in some trade or profession. Which one?

Shoemaker that is in case they are called some thing different over there.

Also it could be an antique African cannibal gutting knife with a new handle fitted.

Thanks for the input. Leatherwork in some form seems to be the concensus. One other suggestion is tobacco leaf cutting knife in the hand made cigar trade.
