Thanks guys, I really appreciate the check here. I had a sick feeling I'd been duped...back to feeling good now. As I said, I've been carrying it for years, and like it a lot. It really needs an edge put on it now though. I tried to sharpen it once, but the tanto end, in addition to my having a lot of trouble getting it clamped properly due to the blade back, in my sharpener has kept me from getting it done. I started to, but when I realized I was going to change the blade angle dramatically, I quit until I could figure out how to do it properly. That's not happened yet. I've got the Lansky set, but as I said, I can't get it jigged up properly to put the right angle on the blade, and forget about sharpening the tanto end.
