Ready to use immediately. In excellent condition, used only about 3 times with sharpening, including this time. *The number of times is not exact, but my sharpening minimizes the amount removed. So, with my sharpening, it's probably only been sharpened twice if compared to others. Machine sharpened and edge balance adjusted. Also finished with a final sharpening, so it's smooth.
