I found a Winchester model 1083 recently in a collection. It’s a fixed 6” blade serrated on on one side sharp on the other. Wood handle. I have found north on google searches for this model. Any and all information would be greatly appreciate.
 
If one side is “serrated” but not sharp. It sounds like its a fish scaler.

Google Winchester scaler 1083

Or Winchester fishing 1083

Odd knife. I'd love to see what they called it in an official catalog.

It's essentially a hog sticking knife with a serrated or scaler edge. I wouldn't be surprised if it was marked as a universal fish and game knife or even a universal kitchen utility knife.
