What's the story on the 113 ranger

I dont find it much of a hinderance for sharpening or using myself.

makes me wonder why Buck makes it that way. cheaper on labor and machining vs. little given up? more strength? designed for skinning so works fine as designed for that application? sure there is a reason that makes sense or they wouldnt do it that way......
 
I guess it's just where somebody decided to stop, I like it just fine and better than the one that's been reground, but I suppose they could've carried it back another 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch.
 
JB, the 113 is a fine skinner, a little better than the 103 because it has a point which I fine useful in starting cuts. The handle is a bit short/smallish for my hands and the blade a bit short for deboning the venison but as a dedicated skinner it is a good knife. OH
