I have one and like it. I used my bench grinder to put a fairly sharp edge on it and I've used it for things that were too abusive to consider a knife. The worst thing I did with it was turning it into a chisel with a chunk of concrete as a hammer, to bust off a large bolt that was preventing us from repairing some target stands. This led to a big chip in the tip, which was fixed with about ten additional seconds on the bench grinder.

The only person I know who carries one as on-body EDC is a police officer in a really gritty part of a big city. He uses it (unsharpened) primarily in vehicle searches to pry open concealed compartments.



I haven't looked at mine for at least a year -- thank you for the reminder. My trunk stays pretty dry for the most part and I did treat it with a Tuff Cloth before tossing it in there. I'm pleased to say that I couldn't find a single spot on mine.
