By default we will sharpen as much of the blade as possible including any false edges if appropriate. The blades are rested between passes to prevent them from becoming hot and damaging their temper. The process involves many passes with sanding belts of various grits. The sharpening service is done with a belt sander. We adjust the angle of the edge to suit the specific blade and attempt to get as close to a bevel-less edge as possible without marring the surface of the blade. Some blades will take and hold sharper edges than others and the thickness of the blade will determine how wide the bevel will need to be. The resulting edge is somewhat dependent on the particular blade. The result is typically “very sharp” with a small secondary bevel and a bit of an “apple seed” profile. Our sharpening service will provide a good serviceable edge on the blade. (after some filing and running a stone over the edge.) It does have some carbon or grease ? on it like the pictures – not horrible I like the slight used look, but I will try to wash it off and put some tung oil or rosin on it.
But it should be able to hold up to real work – zombie duty if needed. But this was bought for a friend and will be largely a wall hanger.
heck it is thicker and wider angle than most wedges. Bad – it isn’t an all around tool like most of them (make planks, shingles, chop meat – people…) it should split wood like mad if it is dry pine.

Plus side – it won’t break, it has a nice oval handle and balance so feels controllable, and the head seems to be heated then put on – or pushed on with force, with a a small metal sheet that is on the side of the nail that goes thru the shaft, and then a small metal wedge in the center top part of the shaft. Ok this is for the price The blade angle is about 45 degrees and goes directly to about 1/2 an inch and stays that thick until it mounts on the handle.
