Help needed with knive Jamiya?

Darryl,
I would NOT attempt to sharpen it for 2 reasons: 1) sharpening will leave white-coloured edges and they will have to be acid-etched to bring the pattern. 2) this type of pattern weld is better this way, it may have a "crumbled" effect when sharpened.

These newer birds eye pattern welded blades tend to be very soft; not worth sharpening IMO .

No worries, thanks for the replies.

On the wall it goes then.
