Possible reasons, less choice available then, the curved skinner was a doo all knife for everything from cutting a sheeps throat to skinning to gutting to slicing ya roast.
Very few people carry a whole animal out these days unless close as you no longer can pay for your house(or anything else for that matter) by selling game meat so a small knife suitable for boneing out or quartering a animal on site is more practicle.
