I got one the other day. I brought it home and cut and a swedge after my bk7 using the cutting bit on my dremel. then I sharpened the swedge then the rest of the blade with the dremel then moved it to the sharpmaker. I got it suprisingly sharp for a 6 dolar peice of shit. I broke of the plastic handle off and double cord wraped it. now I have a 18'' sharp ass bowie knife. I started just to make the tip sharp and turned out with something pretty cool. I've been using it as a big throwing knife. I can stick the tip completely through a peice of 1/2 inch ply with a full turn. big fun for 6 bucks!!!
