## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this come with a sheath? It is not listed anywhere in the description.**
A: It should come with a leather and wood sheath that has a Sam Brown stud on the removable frog. It's basically an old-school, retro-style sheath.

**Q: Why do I see this listed some places as "1055" and others "1085"?**
A: It is 1085 now per Cold Steel. Earlier version was apparently 1055.

**Q: How do you remove the blueing?**
A: I personally like the blueing to protect the steel, but if you are set on removing it, naval jelly or vinegar may do what you want.

**Q: So does it come sharp, or not really? From reading it seems to be a crap shoot, but looking for a good bowie**
A: It came with a serviceable secondary bevel, meaning... not really sharp, but with some minor sharpening skills you can touch up the edge and get it really sharp.  I would not say that it comes "sharp" to my standards.
