Good eye, fatcity.
I'm still hanging on to the idea that the small blade is a type of punch blade that I've seen on other knives. Mainly because of the blade's sharp point and contour. It has not been "sharpened" into that shape. It was made that way at the factory. The blade is full, taking into consideration there is still plenty of 'hook' at the base of the edge and it has a nearly straight spine with little if any radius to the point like pen blades. Now I just have to prove it somehow.![]()
None of those blades are full, the knife was definitely used. The tangs might seem full but the tips and bellies are sharpened down on all of the blades, especially the pen and spey blades. Just look at the scratches on the "before" photos for proof. What you have there is a nicely used pen blade, the factory never made a punch that looked like that.
