I have had several Cold Steel Vaquero's (old style), and like a lot of others here have noted, they make great bagel slicers, but that's about it. Once you use one fairly hard for a while (cutting rope, boxes, hacking weeds and sticks) the serrated edge will wear down and the knife becomes useless.
The factory won't re-sharpen the serrations and doing it on a Sharpmaker does not produce very good results (the knifes fault,not the Sharpmakers).
So, I did what any other knife knut would do and re-designed the knife on my Bader. I ground off the serrations,rebeveled both sides of the blade (factory is only ground on one side). And sharpened into a V-grind. Now the knife is worthy of hard use, it is wicked sharp and has a pretty cool look.
Ahhhh, another knife brought back from the depths of knife hell.
