It's not so easy. You can try it if you like but I'll guarantee that you'll ruin it. Especially since this blade is unhoned. Of course this doesn't seem like it'll be expensive so if you have cash lying around you can get an experience out of it.

[MosJan]

i have no problem of honing the blade
i sharpen all of my knifes

lets see haw it will work - i know i'm not getting the best or even good quality in Damascus blades - but for price of $25 ~30 for an made in India - or $45 to 60 for US made blade might just work

expensive ? nooo it will cost less then a good bottle of wine

[Arvestaked]

Good luck.

wan in Armenia in 2001 & 2oo4 - i have looked for old Armenian knifes and for some modern knifes - all i have found was "tourist" quality tech "toys" that are sold in Vernisaj or in BUthics

it will be an good idea to setup an shop in Armenia - get all the Tufencyans & Demirjyans back to work

after all we did have an good knife & sword masters in Historical Armenia

[Arvestaked]

I don't know anything about Armenian historical blades. I don't really know anything about historical blades at all, though I've read a bit about Damascus and Japanese swords.

It would be really cool for an Armenian to learn and become an exceptional custom knife maker and work out of Armenia. Also a high quality production knife company would be great as well. Something like a Hye Benchmade or Spyderco with good materials, sharpness and f&f. And like the American productions who bring in custom makers to design production knives (pardue, centofante, onion), they could do the same with Kalfayan, Meshedjian, and Slobodian (if they go for it).

Yea, that would be cool.

in 2004 wan in Armenia i found a wood worker / carver who had ths bets work in Vernisaje -
Hi's works are one of the most expensive in vernisaje and many stores in Yerevan, His name is Aramayis
anyhow - i took my Walnut Gunstock from my 300 weatherby Mag. to Yerevan to have it engraved the way i wish to - he did a nice work on it also did the silver & gold inlays ( I'll post a pic one day )
In his work place , close to Komitas & BArekamutyun he has many works displayed - he also had many knife handles that he was going to send to IRAN - so in worst case if the blade is any good i can have him engrave and make me a Handel

One of the world’s oldest 'Sword' discovered in the Armenian Monastery in Venice - Italy :
In 2017, an Italian student Vittoria Dall’Armellina was visiting the Mkhitarist monastery on San Lazzaro in Venice when she spotted a familiar looking sword. The sword was mistakenly labeled as a medieval artifact and was thought to be a few hundred years old.
It turns out it’s one of the oldest known weapons in the world. Dall’Armellina, who was getting her doctorate in archaeology at Venice’s Ca’ Foscari University at the time, thought the object looked familiar to those she had studied for her master’s thesis on the early Bronze Age, when swords were believed to have been first invented. It turns out she was right: After more than two years of analysis, experts have dated the artifact back 5,000 years, according to an announcement from the university.
The University contacted the Mekhitarist congregation at San Lazzaro degli Armeni to find out more details about the object. Father Serafino Jamourlian researched the archives and manage to find out its history. The sword was apparently sent in a donation of gifts from an Armenian art collector named Yervant Khorasandjian, to a monk named Ghevond Alishan, known as Father Leonzio, about 150 years ago.
Alishan was a famous poet and writer who was a friend of the famed English art critic John Ruskin; Alishan died in 1901, and his belongings passed on to his monastery
