An orange handled kabar? You must mean the stacked leather some of them are almost orange. That's odd, my grandfather used one during the korean war in which he pried, cur, chopped, hacked, stabbed, and did God knows what else to it. He still has it and it still holds an edge. I have a kabar that I have pried, chopped, cut, used to break joints loose on deer, and hacked through ribs when cleaning deer and it still has and edge and hasn't bent, although I don't use it to clean chickens, just deer and wild game. I use (as I stated) one of the winchester knives from wal-mart to clean chickens.
Anyway. Yes he took the knife back three times and each time they exchanged it for a new knife in the package. Each time he got it home he attempted to sharpen it using a very nice lansky set that he preferes (I prefere a aluminum oxide ceramic stick myself)The last time he got one that would actually hold an edge. All he needed was a knife to hold a decent edge for cutting packing straps where he worked because he kept snapping box cutter blades on the heavy nylon/plastic straps. He didn't want to spend more than about $10 because he didn't want something he was going to have to worry about losing, etc. Want to talk about calling baloney? GoodOlBoy
