 Mine has a razor sharp edge. Quite a heavy blade too. I suspect they are hairpin laminated steel. 
 
 
 
They come from an area near Nepal, Tibet and Bhutan. I posted a picture of a traders shop with these for sale with other knives somewhere on the forum...it's along one of the common trade routes there.

 Hi
Mine are laminated. Others are of mono steel. I suspect hairpin ones might be rarer.
