Totiseshell spreader: how was this used??

Or, what was it for. I've seen tortiseshell "spoons" for caviar, but I've never seen a torty spreader. Anyone? http://cn0rha.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pbC-zEBdQFQocCo3PqP4CyBT3KZS_875fLpiolMFTK_i73vnq_U6NZvSRzd5b0fbmUVVTO_9w2WsNHtV8eVnU1ua0Ds7QQvXL/FRNT%20W%20RULER.jpg http://cn0rha.bay.live...

A Sheffield sawback knife... what was it's purpose?

Anyone know? By way of comparing the handle, you'd think this is probably a 6" blade... http://i468.photobucket.com/albums/rr44/campbellclanman/tatmonstamash048.jpg" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; http://i468.photobucket.com/albums/rr44/campbellclanman/tatmonstamash052.jpg" oncli...
