Today i went to the San Jacinto Monument down here in Houston.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Jacinto_Monument
They had a bunch of historical artifacts from the Texas Independance war time era (1836ish)
The sign by it said this was used to clean horse hooves prob by a ferrier ..something of a horse blacksmith back in the day.
These were Sam Houston's personal firearms. Sam Houston to Texans is like George Washington to America

You can tell that knife is old - the corkscrew is a helix instead of a worm.

Rather than a ferriers knife I would say its a riders knife. When riding a horse from time to time the rider will need to clean the hooves of their horse or remove a stone from the shoe. newer types can be found in equestrian mags.
