Vic Scimitar - what is it for?

[jimh0220]

I recently picked up a dirt cheap Ontario Scimitar on the bay, and it's ia great knife. The local knife counter @ my favorite sporting goods store has an amazing looking Victorinox 17" Scimitar knife that keeps catching my eye. Soooooooo, here's my problem: what are these knives for? I like the style of the blade, but I'm not hot on owning a knife and not knowing what to do with it.

Ideas what these are made for?

By the picture, I would guess either cutting ham or for champagne opening ceremonies?
But it has edge, and if it cuts, shouldn't that be enough reason to buy it?

It always struck me as a meat slicing design. Ham, turkey, roasts...

Around here they use them for dressing bluefin tuna but they are industrial meat cutting knives. Victorinox has a line of commercial grade knives similar in quality to Dexter Russell's Sani-Safe line.
