Just acquired this EGW knife.

 

Never seen one with a sawback before - are they scarce ?

"are they scarce?"

 

No, seems like 1/3 of the ones I've seen over the years have the saw back, but that's just my estimate.

That is actually not a saw back it is a fish scaler. This a is commercial fishing knife, the back of the blade would be scrapped along the fish the opposite way that the scales run and pull them off, all part of cleaning the fish. A saw back knife has angled sharp teeth, often in two rows intended to cut small branches.
