I could be wrong because I don't own one - but I'm almost positive it is not supposed to be sharp. Obviously there is a swedge but I don't think there is supposed to be a cutting edge.
Congrats on getting one! I would love to have an old Marbles. Do you plan to use it?

Sharpening the top edge of the blade is usually limited to fighting type knives. Many knives have a swedge, which can help with blade penetration or may just be there for aesthetics.

A woodcraft type knife wouldn't benefit from having the top edge sharpened. A sharpened top edge might even be a hazard.
