Hi Detlef.
I'm pretty sure the blade has been reworked but you could be correct. It would need to have been a large
corvo to start with. What tilts me towards a reworked end of a
corvo is the back of the knife at the tip. I think you can see a few mm of the remnants of the original down-curved spine--the deep clip does not go all the way to the point but ends a little way up the spine. That seems a sign to me that the tip has been reworked.

And since I've bought the three examples shown in up for my collection I've done some research and think that I've seen a very similar knife shown with some other corvos but sadly can't find it anymore.
