Why is this type of knife needed, and if it's feasible, what are some applications for it?

I really like the feel of this antique item I found, but I’m not sure how best to use it.

It occasionally fits into a cutting board with the same curve but formed like a bowl.

@Gordon Another conceivable usage is to chop off your fingers, but be careful when rocking.

Ulu for fish, but I use it to chop salads in bowls too.
