Nice find Mate Looks like a little blade made from an old file to meIt should sharpen up very well but watch out for rust when you have it shiny (Image removed from quote.)
Yeah, looks like a file to me. Neat! It''l be a real nice utility blade with a good handle on it.I would get rid of the red rust and then force a patina on it.

Very cool! That's about the most compact corkscrew knife I've ever seen.The "forced patina" with vinegar that I did on the Humpback will work on any carbon blade. It will have no effect on stainless blades. Other methods can be used to get a patina but, AFAIK, vinegar & steel wool is the best way to get an even finish. The longer the blade is exposed to the acid, the darker the patina will be--to a point. Mustard, onions, citrus fruits, apples, raw meat, etc. can be used also to different effect.
I can see the Cold Steel love or hate and S30V vs the rest topics coming up soon.
