The original bevel is high... Like really high. TC was right, someone had it on a rough stone or has taken a file to it. Might have to get a few layers of tape on the spine when it comes time for honing. Those pins are nice, I'd save those!

If a file cut the steel it's probably too soft to be a razor. Most likely just a heavy hand on a course stone. The hone wear pattern appears fairly even. Added a couple layers of tape to the spine and put it on a 1K.
