Unsharpened from the factory!

I have seen where coins from the mint with an error are highly collectable.
I was wondering if it holds true to pocket knives?
I have a Case 8327 SS and it left the factory unsharpened.
How often do you see this?
Not just one blade but all three left the factory unsharpened.

I don't collect Case, so I don't know what it is worth. But, I have a Schrade Old Timer, 34OT, that is perfectly finished but all three blades are unsharpened.
I guess that way the blades are truly "full."

Hi, Tom...
Welcome to AAPK. We're glad to have you.
We are big on pictures here. Also, what are the markings on the master blade, i.e. XX, USA, dots, lightining s ?
Also, do you mean TOTALLY un-sharpened, like not sharp enough to cut your hand?

The master blade is marked with the rat tail Case and under that USA and looks like 3 dots under that. and yes the three blades are totally un-sharpened. In fact I just ran all three blades in a cutting motion over my arm and in the palm of my hand and nothing, no cuts or scrapes.

I would have to say it slipped through QC, my bet is that doesnt happen very often. As far as being collectable I dont know, I do know there are collectors that are only into factory mistakes. We may have some here, we'll see if one comes along.
