knife question
 

Hi all!

My Sudanese dagger's blade is snapped off at the very tip,and the bade is dull,whould it be wise to sharpen it or leave it as is.My personal thought is to leave it as is and not touch it, but it was suggested to me that I should sharpen it.

any advice whould be appreciated. :)

Well, sharpening is a phylosophical question - do you see your dagger as a weapon or as a historical memorabilia ?

I think most of the collectors do not sharpen their weapons (I do).

Hi Rivkin!

I see my Sudanese dagger as a weapon.I just got out the sharpening stone. :D I put a very nice edge on it,but did not hurt the islamic inscriptions on the blade,the tip is still slightly snapped off but is less noticable,it looks great! :) The reason I left the dip slighty dull is the tip protrudes from the sheath and I don't want to poke myself.

Thanks for the advice!
