DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH!

Seeing Dale's last stockman post gave me an idea for this thread. I often look with amazement at a knife that's been around a long time, but has never been used. It's one thing for it to be a safe queen, polished and protected, but quite another to be new, and then forgotten, never used for its intended purpose.
Here's one I found years ago, and I have yet to find any history of the brand. It's a cattle knife that shows no signs of sharpening.
So please show us an old knife that's got its original factory edge, and hasn't been "buffed"; a rough diamond!

Nice Charlie, I like that old stuff. It is nice to try to research them.

That is a new way of categorizing them Charlie.
Now you are going to make me search through my knives & worst of all..........make me think!

Hmmm... never thought of it that way.
