Hi Guys,

I'm restoring a bunch of blades, and this one always sticks out because of the 'smile' on it. It is by far the most curved edge I've ever owned and I guess I'm just used to the edge being pretty straight.

My simple question: Is this blade made like this? is this a smiling blade? This blade has never been honed, that much is apparent in real life, since there is practically no hone-wear on the spine. I just can't decide if the edge is supposed to look like this or if somehow it's been altered. Please any input will be greatly appreciated.

Sorry if this is a really a dumb question - its just bugging me.. You know when you look at something too much...
