Is the blade sharpened? and does the sheath need any adjustments?

It is pretty sharp when you get it. And the sheath doesn't need any adjustments

Once you get it sharpened you might try using a honing steel after each use. A couple of swipes and the knife stays very sharp. It will postpone having to have the knife resharpened.

No, it did not come with a sheath. It was already sharp enough but I put a finer edge on it and have not tried it out yet until I make a sheath for it. I already know what High Carbon Steel will do as a utility blade, so I am confident it will perform the task.

Sorry, just saw this email. Hope it's not too late to help you. No, I don't believe the edge you speak of is sharpened. I gave the knife to my daughter to take to college with her, so I don't have it handy. Will it take an edge? I don't know, I suppose it's possible. That doesn't help, I know, but since I don't have it with me I don't want to say anything misleading.

It locks in pretty solid. I don't know that there is anything that is going to keep a knife in a sheath if your are tangled in debris. You should already have it out at that point. Down side: Knife is titanium and it cannot be sharpened.

I haven't sharpened it yet but as they said below, they don't interfere with the blade. As an aside, I loooove this knife.

Haven't had to sharpen it. It shouldn't need to be sharpened for some time unless you are really hard on the knife. I have used a leather strop to touch up blade and hone after use. When you buy the knife, it comes with sharpening recommendations on the box.

The one I received was sharpened, but not to a very keen edge. It took me about and hour and a half to get it to an edge that I was satisfied with.

As HillbillyDad said, be sure the knife is sheathed properly. It is pretty tight to start with. Be very careful if it is stuck to not yank so hard as to cut yourself. The knife is extremely sharp.

This knife does come with a decent quality brown leather sheath. As for the spine, it is not sharpened but it does have fairly sharp edges that can create a hot spot when doing various tasks. While it isn't the most comfortable, the sharp edges on the spine do throw nice sparks.

It was a little stiff the first time, but I don't have problems adjusting it now. Just be careful that your hand doesn't slip over the blade. I turned mine upside-down (face down on the counter) the first time I adjusted it.

The sheath is ready to go right out of the box if you have system to mount it too. At most, you have to get some malice clips depending on what setup you're running.Hope this helps.

Only one side is sharpened. The blade is made like a bayonet style knife, with the point being extremely sharp and the cutting edge like a razor.

My knife was very sharp. Sharp enough to cut me! It is very rigid for it's length. Perhaps that other person was using the flat side of the knife? It is sharp enough to cut cake & bread with ease. It's not razor sharp, because it is not meant to be a razor sharp meat carving blade. Buy it, you won't be dissapointed.

I've just purchased mine this year so I haven't had to sharpen the blades. but there is a specialized tool for it that is pulled along the blade. That all I know about it.

No. I used it as received. It seemed plenty sharp to me for a lawnmower blade.

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