I actually ended up getting rid of it. You don't realize how THICK it is until you get you hands on one. It's basically a bar of 1/4" thick steel grounded to shape. Hell 1/4" inch plate is what I used to make armor for my jeep. They get smacked on rocks with half the jeep's weight on it, and take it without a dent. 1/4" on an outdoor knife is just way too overkill.
