One thing came to mind after reading the above.

I have seen the HJ knives in near mint condition but I have also seen many that have been sharpened quite often. Just about what you would expect from the only TR knife that was actually used, and used by scouts.

I do not ever remember seen any variety of the smaller knives showing signs of use. I have seen them rusted and deteriorated, but not sharpened. Has anyone else.
