Trivial to sharpen that profile with a Lansky.

It actually appears to be of halfway decent construction. It comes with a decent looking ballistic nylon sheath. I gather it's made in Taiwan; I gather also that the real Schrade went out of business years ago.

I like the drywall hammer. Have to acquire one soon. Been redoing the house shouldn't be a problem next time I go.
