Sharp as a razor and I keep it that way. Been carrying a pocket knife 24/7 as long as I can remember. Only time I've been without it was my only plane ride to Wisconson and I was lost for the entire weekend because I did not have my knife. The guys that work with me are required to have one also, "if you borrow mine all the time you need your own". I dress deer, dress squirrells, clean fish, dress game birds and most of all eat vienna sausage, sardines etc.:D
