I thought it might have been blunted at some time. I don't see the normal sharpening scratches, just the tapering done during forging. Steve
Gene, Just saw your blade post this pattern is far more random.

Hi Steve,
The one I posted was just the first 'similar' example of a bare modern blade I found on ebay in completed items.
The non-sharpened edge is also indicative of modern Indian blades I'm sorry to say.
It doesn't look blunted to me, it looks like it was never sharpened.
Sorry mate
