Quoted:
The canoe style is symmetrical, being that the same bolsters were used on both ends. Same with the side panels. So a little less expensive to make, and less expensive to buy. Filled the palm on the hand more when using. A time when pennies had buying power.

And an offshoot of the Barlow knife design above was modified years ago into the TL-29, or what is commonly called an electrician’s knife.

And I think the canoe end kept your hand from slipping.
