Q:Sharp?
A:Mag 10 takes great pride in its knives, if your Mag 10 blade becomes dull through general use outside of what would be considered “abuse”, Mag 10 will happily re-sharpen it for you. Simply drop it off at a show on a Sat, and I will return it sharpened the next day. In situations where that may not be possible, simply ship the blade to me, and i will ship it back to you re-sharpened
