I didn't even care to sharpen it. To see the edge basically crumble away like that? Yeah, big dissapointment after waiting months on the pre orders.Probably the famous bark river burnt edge, I took my bushcraft scout to the other side of the world with the factory edge and it held up great, though it dulled a bit faster than I would've liked. I came home, carefully sharpened it with a belt sander to a literal hair whittling edge and now the knife blows me away performance wise. That being said, it's probably the last bark river I'll ever buy. It's a shame no one else really makes knives in that style other than *maybe* LT Wright. It really put a bad taste in my mouth when Mike Stewart told me personally that it was impossible that they had ever burnt an edge on any of their knives on top of the quality control issues I've had and all the other scandals involving them.
My gunny hunter isn't terrible, edge is decent out of box but the grind...do they hire blind people at brk? Anyone know?
