historical origins of the 'canadian' grohman/russel style knife?

A great interpretation of a trade knife, I am sure I have seen older versions of this knife before 1958. I've had a few of the real deal blades, but I could never quite get accustomed to it.

I really love the "flow/lines" of the Canadian Belt Knife. The above picture is a "Canadian STYLE" Knife me for me by Brian Efros. I really like this knife but it is (by designed) more of a "heavy duty" type Woods knife. I REALLY want an original (slimmer, lighter) Canadian #1 Belt Knife.

Can you show any examples of the earlier trade knives you say it is based upon? I have seen a fair number in both books and museums and can't see the resemblance.
