I'm a little late in posting on this, but I'll throw it in anyhow. I bought a Bushman last fall for use in landscaping and have used it to cut, pry and divide rootbound maples out of whiskey barrels, whack blackberries, dig out sprinkler heads, and the list goes on.
It's tough, easy to resharpen, and a good size for general utility.
Sheath quality? Well that's another matter and something I expected.
The black wore off too and I just wipe it with whatever I happen to have in the truck and haven't had a problem.
Have fun!
