Gotta little tip for you Sharp finger guys. If you look close at the edge, it isn't sharpened all the way back. I took a dremel w/ cut off wheel and made a small "v" notch right in front of the round deal towards the back of the blade. This allows you to sharpen it all the way back to the notch. I've been thru 3-4 deer w/ mine and never touched the blade, really hard steel.
