The fun part of giving knives for me is checking back with them to see how they're being used. I don't bother giving them to people who don't use them, what's the fun in that? I'm also his dedicated sharpener and I was really concerned about what the teeth would look like after surely getting beat on but fortunately I only had to smooth out one badly rolled point. The rest of the blade sharpened back up fairly easily. He did comment that he would like to have another inch or so of PE at the tip so it seems he does still prefer combo edge. Overall though I don't think there exists a better option for a harder use beater knife for someone who will likely use their knife for things they shouldn't. A couple weeks after he got it, he messaged me saying he couldn't believe how sharp it was and how the serrations cut through anything, then told me about how he cut up a pop can...lol.
Anyway here's some pics. Let's see if Photobucket let's me embed..
I think most of the scratches are just transfer marks but I didn't get enough time to try to wipe them off. The pivot and lock action were still perfect.
