(Great composite picture!) I'd consider buying one but only if the yard starts sending knives out sharp or even better flat ground with an inclusive angle of no more than 50 degrees. I still haven't really finished setting up my DF's edge properly (wouldn't even draw cut paper on arrival..) and I have a Basic 7 to get sharp (a bit better than the DF on arrival..). The idea of trying to get that swords edge sharp would totally put me off buying! And probably give me nightmares.. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/paperbag.gif" alt="" />
