I'm kinda new to the knife world so forgive me if this is a completely ignorant question...
I just bought a Boker V-42 (My favorite knife) from Amazon.com.
The box arrived in good shape but the seal on it was broken already.
When I opened it up everything that was included was there and wrapped up just the way it was supposed to be. It looks brand new but when I took the knife out , It's covered in this VERY sticky , thick , and messy black grease. It's also not as sharp as I hoped it would be. (Not as sharp as my Ka-Bar).
1] Is this normal? Do they all ship with the grease or is it possible mine was used? (a return?).
2] How sharp should my knife come? Did Ka-Bar set the bar too high in terms of what I expect?
Thanks
