is the spine of the knife a 90degree edge?

Its not a full 90 but is sharp enough to strike some sparks it will require modification for a fully sharp spine. I was still empressed with the knife.

The blade is real steel. I was impressed for the money. The edge is not sharpened and can not cut, at least on mine. It could be sharpened. The point is sharp however and could use dulling if you are giving this to an older kid. mine was a gift

I don't know the exact grade. I will tell you that I've been collecting blades for over fifteen years, and I have a pretty decent eye for quality. This blade will not disappoint. It is a true full tang, the blood groove is impressive, and the shaping of the blade is flawless. It doesn't have a "sharpened edge", per se. The entire blade past the blood groove is honed and worked out to the edge, which is impressively sharp for such a style. The point is aggressively sharp, and it comes oiled, as all carbon steel should. I have no regrets over purchasing this.

My knife has a curved blade....I liked it so well I bought another for our second home.model seems to read 5.6603.15..don't know if the curve is a big deal or not.

If you're talking about an angle for scissors, there is a ledge on the left side on the main pic. below the left angle guide that looks to be about 56deg.

Yes it is... it has a lifetime warranty on it. My first buck was this one and I still have it. It is over 30 years old and the blade is about half the size it was originally- holds a sharp edge forever

Yes I took a file and made a 90 degree edge on the back and it works good I suggest a grinding wheel and only do a small area you don't want to change the temper. I have been impressed with there products especially for the price, I own about a dozen different knives and axes by condor and they have really performed well for me but the spines on their knives tend to be round and not squared for firesteel but its an easy fix. The sheaths are thick leather and the steel good for me.

The top of the blade measures 32 & 5/8 inches as measured from wooden handle to tip of blade, The cutting edge (i.e. saw teeth) measures 35 inches. However, on the bottom edge (just below the wooden handle) there is about one inch of steel that is not sharpened to cut anything.

It's probably around 2-3 mm at the back of the base of the blade. It doesn't flex much, if at all, is sharpened on the cutting edge (though not terribly sharp), and is not chromed.

No, the spine of the knife is not a true 90° angle. There is another version of this knife called bushcraft black that will throw sparks but it cost a bit more.

Mine bought a few months back has a 3/16" spine at the thickest part next to the handle. It's a brute.

I don't know. I love the knife, had another which got "lost", so replaced it. It is my favorite. Look it up on a cutco siteis my recommendation.

5.0 mm -1075 HIGH CARBON STEEL is the thickness of the spine. I have never measured the width of the blade.

the spine is a little more than a cm thick. i use it mainly for opening packages or cutting 550 cords. about your question is this knife good for slicing, I would say it can hold a sharp edge, so yes. however the size of the task would affect the effectiveness of this small blade.

As others have mentioned, the exact grade of the steel isn't listed anywhere. Given the reasonable price point for this, I doubt it would be anything fancier than a 440 variant or similar. But it must be tempered very well because it definitely holds its edge.

No. The knife is one solid piece from tip of blade to the end of handle. The whole set is soild and very nice. In my opion you cant go wrong with this set.
