I am very happy with the howling fat.
swamp rat could have done a better job sharpening this knife. First thing I did was check the to see if it was razor sharp, and it was not.
I figured I would do a little bonding with my new friend. I broke out my lansky sharpening system 45 min later ,and a couple of passes on the flatbed strop my new friend is razor sharp.
now I can't wait to go out, and beat the crap out of my new friend.
