This horseman's knife looks like it has some pretty interesting tools for a wilderness pocket carry: crooked blade (to be used for scooping out a spoon or bowl), saw, auger/drill, plus the usual assortment. The I*XL on stamped on the blade shows it to be a model from George Wostenholm company of Sheffield, England.
For some commentary on hoof knives as crooked knives and a tutorial on making your own, check out OldJimbo's Crooked Knife With A Twist webpage.

This is a Japanese site with apparently a very limited bandwidth limit. So if the linked picture doesn't show up, you may need to try the link again later. Also, if you don't have kanji font installed on your computer, the error page will likely contain only garbled characters.
