As always, I enjoy the posts of kuduae.

That is quite fascinating history. I did not realize its original purpose. Due to its blade shape, I always thought it was originally intended as a "Standhauer" type for clearing trails and shooting lanes and such. The blade shape is somewhat reminiscent of the Gewehr 98 Seitengewehr 98/05 "Butcher Blade" which made a rather effective chopping tool as well. But for a "sticker", that is very interesting.

The Rüdemann looks also to be a very useful tool. Very heavy as I remember. I made a vaguely similar tool, not quite as heavy...the boys keep trying to "liberate" from me. The looters! It's the top right antler handled one in the pic here (w/ the green sheath).

BTW: a sticker I made for the purposes you note is bottom on the left. Very useful on game and stock.
