What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

I went to the arboretum for a little stroll.

Just in case there was a giant Redwoods or something needed pruning I took this Old English beauty along with me.

Alongside I took my SAK lumberjack in case any trees needed felling,you never know. 😁

I thought it wasn’t sharp (I didn’t know how to sharpen the curve) the cuts say I was wrong.🤔

The edges around the scales were quite sharp so I carefully hand sanded them down and used a wet paper towel to wipe away the dust as it’s not something that you would want to breathe in.

I've been thinking of smoothing the edges on mine. I was a little leery due to how close the center screw is to the edge. Did removing a small amount make a noticeable difference in the feel?
 
In hand not a great difference, but when opening the blade by pinching it, my thumb did not care for those crisp edges and after the light sanding it's a lot more comfortable to open using that method.

Great Jack, Robert! Forgive me if I've said that before.
A bit more than 75 years old if my eyes are seeing a short line tang stamp.
Always dig your SCCo Jack, Steve🤙

Johnny, you need a ceramic rod type of sharpener to sharpen a hawkbill.
Or the unglazed bottom rim of a heavy china mug.
You don't want to use a flat stone.
