That looks like it may make a good gutting knife. Maybe the false edge just a touch steeper. If you get the false edge at just the right angle it makes gutting a breeze and you don't have to worry about the tip digging in and puncturing the guts. Only one way to know for sure, try it out a few times.
I never really thought about gutting with it. Ive never even taken it in the field. I mostly use it around the house/camp to break down large chunks of meat like loin/sirloin into steaks or slice watermelon etc.
I gut everything with a swingblade and do my skinning with nessmuks like this
