Time, temperature, light, moisture, oxidants, handling, and mishap are all factors which will eventually compromise your knife's condition.
Its important to close a folding knife like vintage-pocket-knives or even antique pocket knives slowly and carefully. Snapping your pocket knifes shut will force the blade to hit the internal parts which causes dulling to your blade.
You should always keep your blade sharp. A dull knife requires unnessary force and is more dangerous to use than a sharp knife. Some of the knife sharpening products on the market today make it virtually impossible to mess up and will always put the right edge on your blade. Never sharpen your knife on a power-grinding wheel, this may burn the temper out of your blade and weaken its intengrity.
Test for edge-sharpness and edge-uniformity by slicing newspaper pages, hold one edge and slice slowly away from you and move your blade from hilt to tip. A sharp blade will whisper threw the page. A dull blade will sound harsher as you can hear the fibers tear. Whether you own vintage-pocket-knives, antique pocket knives, remington-pocket-knives, queen steel pocket knives, kabar hunting knives, engraved hunting knives, cutgo knives, using the newspaper test you will easily beable to detect any blade nicks or uneven edge sections.
Once a knife becomes extremely dull and is to dull to have sharpen, its unsafe to ever use again!
