Is this a one edged knife or is it sharp on both sides? It is hard to tell for sure from the picture.

Although it's a single-edged knife (I despise chisel grind knives), you can sharpen both sides if you choose. I think any blade cuts better if it's sharpened on both sides, especially if you're right-handed. Most chisel grind knives cut great if you're left handed, because the sharpened side is on the left. But with this big mamma, you have nothing to worry about. Paper sheets seem to cut before the blade even touches them! A person would have to be insane to mess with you if you have one of these. And they do a great job cutting.

it is a single edged blade. I love this knife. It is a beast! Keep it with me wherever I go. You can even get custom holsters online. Check YouTube as well. Highly recommended. Watch video on Cold Steel site. My everyday carry is the Ka bar TDI. Not a big knife but when you need it, it is the fastest draw. Good luck.

the knife has only one edge that is as sharp as a straight razor...it's a big knife but you will not be disappointed,,you can clean an elk and butcher it with the same knife.......

It's sharp on one side only. It is a huge knife, and it will get someone's attention. It is also super sharp, be very careful when you close the blade!

One small knife is finely serrated. I use it to slice bread ... does it beautifully.

No it isn't, while it is kind of sharp I had to send away to be sharpened and even then it wasn't as sharp as I would like. Hope this helps! :)

I confirm that this is a single beveled knife for right handed persons. And a good one.

On one side like most all traditional knives. I wouldn't call it terribly sharp out of the box however. A few passed on a sharpening steel had it plenty sharp though.

Yes, the edge is serated. I have 2 of these knives, they are very sharp and have ergonomic handles. I recommend them.

The knife is made from one piece of steel. The knife is 4mm thick or just a tiny bit over 1/8th of an inch. It tapers to a point at the front end. Very well made.

The one I ordered was a plain edge.I use it everyday and it has been easy to keep sharp.

It all depends on how you carry. Example self defense (i.e. martial artist), or utility (camping, outdoors.) It's a solid ambidextrious bowie ++ type knife. The knife is large, well made. If you carry with the sheath on your right hand side, the knife's edge will be back-facing. Here is a You Tube clip that I found. It may help you in your decision making. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdpkQNMeAY0

M. Redmond I am not sure I understand the ? but if your asking if it cuts on both sides of the blade then yes it does.

It is a double edged blade so one would need to be aware of the state and local regulations if you choose to carry this knife. It is a very robust knife. Well worth the small investment.

No it is not! It is only a 1 handed knife. The blade is long but the handle is for 1 hand only! But this knife is one of the best knives you can get!

only the serrated edge knife's cutting edge is beveled on one side only. the other two cutting edges are beveled on both sides of the blade as is most commonly seen. I hope this is what you were asking.

It is one sided. It serves the purpose for flattening water stones perfectly. I would not use it to sharpen your knives - that's what your stones are for. If your knife happens to be made with a high-carbon content and is hardened, it could graduarlly wear away the diamond surface.

the blade is sharp and ready to go. You can make it sharper if you desire bur not necessary.

It's "factory sharp", I believe. The 'sides' are not sharpened, they're thick and flat. The tip, however, is pointy enough to be sharp. There still really isn't an 'edge' to the sword, but you can hurt someone with the tip, if that's what you were asking. Otherwise, no edge.
