I wonder if the saw tooth back shows the origins as once part of an old saw blade?

That's very interesting, thank you for the explanation. I think it is indeed an old saw blade, the teeth at the top look like they've been deliberately filed down and flattened. I wonder why the knifemaker left the teeth at all, or why he put a bevel on it.
