Old khukuri question, to sharpen or not to sharpen?

As you guys suggested, it's been sharpened.

Real or not, that doesn't really matter. We all want to know one thing - does it perform?

It'll be tested by some wood chopping, hopefully it stands up to it. Worst case scenario will still be a nice story to tell someone over a beer.

Goggles shall be used and the test shall be done.

I'll keep you posted with more pics and results.
 
I'll say same thing I told you yesterday. Make a deal with a guy, take your Warcraft Tanto with you and test it side by side with his kukri, if it chops worse than Warcraft despite all that extra length and weight then it's basically worthless.
The same goes if it takes edge damage from chopping wood, and post some pics!!!
 
I would definitely sharpen. I'd also remove the rust and put a mustard patina on there (personal preference, I do not like high-maintenance blades).
