If you suck ass at sharpening like I do, they're golden.
You just have to not torque the blade around joints, as you'll spend more time changing blades than cutting through the deer. You're also not going to be splitting any pelvis' with one, so if that's part of your MO be aware.
I'm a believer.
If I couldn't sharpen by hand, that's what I'd do
and not look back. I can't see paying a bunch
for something to sharpen with that needs
to be plugged in the wall socket, especially since
I've never seen a wall socket in the woods.
You CAN carry a pack of spare blades in a pocket,
and your pockets go everywhere you do.
I'd be using one and be tickled to have it
