So, knife experts... (Zwack and Storm) are these knives sharp, this one was not a razor sharp, but did have a useable edge... I am leaving it as it is... it looks like it had been sharpened once maybe... hard to tell since the edge is clean and even from the blued blade to the knife edge... the blade is nick free and has some staining on it but you can still read the maker name and maker mark..

I think that is what is says, it is kind of light and right on the edge of the center portion of the blade.. nice heft and feels NASTY in your hand... GRIN!
Thanks again for the comments and replys

Would have been razor sharp originally.
Big debate which is number one but it is this and the Bowie fighting it out.
Also the side ties on the sheath might be for arm/leg carry which was very popular for this knife.
