Original Kabar?

Simmonsknife74,

Yes and yes. The original drawings show that the swedge was to be sharpened. KA-BAR, the first manufacturer, along with all the other contract manufacturers did sharpen the swedge. We stopped doing this about 6-7 years ago as States were starting to out law double edged knives and the F/U knife fell into that catagory. If you own an unsharpened swedge knife, look at the swedge and tell me how you would remedy that issue. ;).
