The edges are dull but the blade is rather thin and a quick scrape with a stone or other hard rough surface would soon produce a cutting edge. There is a good 1/4 inch play on the blade at present, there may have been small wooden pieces inserted either side of the blade at one time to stop this, or it could be wear it is clearly quite old, I do not know. It is interesting that although a nasty rude knife, other people as well as myself and through a PC could also feel its mystique. Thanks Tim
