Lion Head Knife With Leather Sheath

Gotta echo the sentiment that these things can be sharpened, but if the blade isnt hardened they dull fast as butter. It can be a real pain though to get through the plating, though plating itself isnt a sign of poor quality. Aside from original plating on construction, some collectors would also plate their blades when they brought em home. Mike had a kris that was plated, and it was a real pain to remove the plating, and then etch.
