I bought an old timer 69OT off amazon. This thing is not sharp. For the life of me I can't get an edge on the blade. I've tried whet stones, diamond sharpening stones and WorkSharp belt style sharpener. The WorkSharp works the best, but still no where near where I think it should be.
The knife is sharp enough to open a deer to get the internals out, and stout enough to go through rib bones. But I would hate to debone one in the field with it.
Any advise or recommendations on another knife with the trapper style? This one was so cheap (a little over $20) it's not worth fiddle with too much longer.
