Thanks my step dad made that for our good buddy's birthday on here BDizz. As far as holding an edge and staying sharp they do extremely well. The actual pig stickers we make go in like like a tub of butter and most of the pigs fall over before you get the blade out.

I sure like the one you made me. Have not really even use it yet but it is sharp as a razor got it sitting right here on my desk . Have to keep a eye on it my sons all want to fight over it .

Heres my everyday carry knife made by "Tuskbuster" on here. I couyldnt be happier with the quality and the bone handle gives it a nice weighty feel. I had him make two more for my boys here at the ranch except they had mesquite grips instead of the bone.   |
