Regular Jack or Curved?

I snipped this photo of an old Robeson jack knife off the internet some time ago.
It has great rat tail bolsters.
Now, are my eyes deceiving me, or is the knife not a curved or sway-back jack? Or, is it just a regular jack?

My impression is if the photograph were taken directly above the knife you wouldn't have the curve of the scale giving the impression of a curved frame. If that's a curved jack they didn't give it much curve. Heck of a knife.

my $0.2...I think it's a reg jack and the main blade doesn't open all the way (straight)
