Looks to me like someone bent them and not the same. That's just what I get from the photos. Actually it look like it would be very difficult to use. Have you tried it at all?

Looks like it was bent on purpose to me, too, perhaps for use on some work that needed the clearance, such as barrel-making. The handles are adjustable, but even adjusted better, they'd be awkward.
If they were bent out, I imagine that they can be bent back; but you might want to heat them first. Find a local blacksmith type who understands you don't want to lose the temper on the cutting edge. Little bit of a bummer that someone did this with an folding-handle drawknife. At least around here, drawknives are common; but I've only seen two folding-handle knives, both of which followed me home (my son now has one).

Bent. Likely on purpose.
