Looks somewhat like a Farrier knife, but not. It is older Timber Scribe.

Timber scribe for marking wooden items

Commonly called a "timber scribe" . Versions are still sold and used today in the logging industry,

In forestry, this tool, also known as race knife, scorer or tree marker, is used to permanently cut marks in wood or trees (marking without chemical products). Pests that sit under the bark can be removed and mild tree diseases can be scratched out. The timber scribe is a versatile tool. The sharply ground and curved carbon steel blade allows easy penetration into the bark and bast. The handle made of sturdy sapele wood lies comfortably in the hand when working. For safe transport, the blade can be folded in like a pocket knife.
