And yes, it still looks relatively new. I've got a line down the other side from the belts when I reprofiled it though--it came dull as a butter knife but once I thinned out the edge a bit, it was like a laser beam. Cut up a couple deer so far and it's still shaving sharp. Right up there in my pantheon of "go-to" hunting blades, including my S30V Gerber Freeman, BG42 Buck Guthook, and CPM154 Buck Vanguard. All can go 5-6 or more deer (field dressing to butchering) without need for a sharpening. Can't wait to give the 411 a run next season. It seems like an all around classic blade! I LOVE the design! Dan, get it back in the store PRONTO!!!!! Please! Sooooo many Dogs still need one at an affordable price!
