Mine will be fully functional… living in rural Idaho, I often have need of a good blade.
Ships are made out of mild steel so the blade from the Emden is too soft to be a proper knife. Dad used it as a letter opener even though it looks meanish. I can put a razor edge on my vine handle one and the steel is hard enough to work steel with it but it is pointless to do so and both the Scottish community and law enforcement community around here take a dim view of people carrying weapons for no legitimate reasons. It's not done.
Those ancient U Nialls from Donegal were a randy bunch.
