Civivi Baklash vs Tallen 7" Drop Point Hunter Knife Damascus Blade

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.

Came dull as a garden hoe. Will take a lot of work to put a decent edge on it. Will not spend a lot of time putting a nice handle on it cause I don’t think the blade is worth it. Wouldn’t buy again even for $9

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.

Now, if that was a one-time mistake, I could understand, but there are numerous complaints about the same problem. Either Amazon needs to straighten these sellers out, or they need to prohibit them from selling UNTIL they make the necessary adjustments. Aside from that, I like the knife, for what you pay, it's a really nice knife, I was only going to see what I could do with it, handle-wise, just for fun. I would have to return it or have a welder add some length to it
