Civivi Baklash vs Morakniv Safe Pro C Fixed Blade Knife Black/Green

Perhaps I just received a bad example of what is seemingly a great knife otherwise, but sadly I think it'll see less time in my pocket from here on out.

The spine of the blade is smooth and not suitable for throwing sparks from a ferro rod. With considerable effort I was occasionally able to get one or two sparks. Conversely I did manage to get several sparks by using the edge of the knife--and had to spend a lot of time removing deep burrs from the edge afterward. For comparison I use my (Esse CR2

But I have butter knives that are sharper than this blade!! I bought two, and both are equally dull and difficult to sharpen. That's a deal killer for me. I'm disappointed.

The only negative is that the sheath is a hard plastic. It does the job, but does not match the quality of the knife. However, for this price the knife alone is a great value.
