Я недавно купил в ebay такой-же(понравился Ваш обзор) однорукий бундесверовский нож на фирме торгующей бундесверовской амуницией(сам живу в Германии).Вот что странно:по всем данным имеющимся в интернете данным этот нож должен быть полусеррейтером, а мне прислали рlain.Нож прибыл абсолютно новым и совершенно ТУПЫМ(кое-как его заточил на бруске купленном 10лет назад у поляков за пару марок),что для Victorinox не является НОРМАЛЬНЫМ. Подскажите пожалуйста оптимальный предмет для затачивания этого ножа, а также остальных швейцарцев(сам думаю купить точилку фирмы Fiskars)?Этот нож чистый хозбыт или же он пригоден также для НБ и СО(сам в этом совершенно не разбираюсь)?

Anyone  :D

Some of the GAKs I have bought have a reground blade as the serrations had been damaged.
The issued ones all had partially serrated blades AFAIK, except for the few "BUND" marked ones that were not one handed.
Maybe someone put scales from a GAK on his trekker and sold it and kept the serrated one with trekker scales?!
If it has a factory plain edge and you´d rather like a serrated one, i have a nearly new GAK I could trade you.

PS: Did Kirk mess with your Keyboard, maybe?  :D

The Russian text appears to be someone basically asking the same question as you, "How come my knife has a plain0edge rather than serrated"; and that he found the blade unsharp.

According to Google Translate, that says the following:

"I recently bought a ebay so-well (liked your review) bundesverovsky one-handed knife on the company selling bundesverovskoy ammunition (he lived in Germany).'s What's weird: all the data available on the Internet according to the knife should be poluserreyterom, and they sent me rlain. The knife came completely new and quite blunt (somehow it sharpened on the bar bought 10 years ago by the Poles in a couple of marks) that Victorinox is not normal. Please tell me the best thing for the sharpening of the knife, as well as the rest of the Swiss (I think to myself to buy a pencil sharpener company Fiskars)? This knife clean Household Economy, or it is also suitable for NB and SB (myself in this totally do not understand)?"

Doesn't look like there has been any significant material removed from the blade IMO, so either someone has done a scale swap or there was a factory mistake.  It has been known to happen. ;)
Be excellent to each other and always know where your towel is.

Yes, it looks like a heavily reground blade.

@Zed: is the knife in the first pic the same as in the last pics from you? Looks different. Or is the angle confusing me?  ???

Interesting, because that thumb hole isn't very common for plain edge knife, afaik. Has it a flatter shape, than the normal round one?

If I understand you right, it is one of the older OH blades. They had a flatter thumb hole.

there is quite a difference in blade width.
