hello all, my girlfriend recently bought me a gec Huckleberry Boy's Knife and i was curious to why the blade has a C-cut out at the tip of the blade. is there a purpose to it? thank you all

Easy open notch . Pinch blade between index and thumb instead of using the pull.

Thank you very much and i kind of figured but you never know with these traditional knives.

I think what you have is a one-hand open knife. You hook that cutout on the top of your pocket to affix the blade and use leverage to open the knife.

I stand corrected . I didn't read post correctly.

I believe the knife was invented for those who happened to have only one limb, placing the cutout at the edge of the pocket and pulling in a downward fashion the blade would open. not having a second hand to pull the blade open.
A pre Emerson wave feature if you will.

I've never thought about the Emerson wave being tied to this style blade. Interesting concept.
