Of a fashion with modern skinning knives? No.
A gut hook is something you might use on a dead, and unmoving prey animal. Even then, they are only arguably useful. I killed and dressed pretty much countless animals at this point, and other than trying one out once, I never use one. The idea of using one in combat is pretty silly. It is always going to be easier to disembowel an opponent with a traditional straight or curved blade.
That said, a bladed hook has made appearance historically from time to time, and they have their proponents. Chinese hook swords (shuang gou), billhooks (with various length handles), and tools like the Woodsman's Pal are all examples of effective tools/weapons incorporating hooked blades.
If you want something of better quality and are gonna use it, get a Woodsman’s Pal
