Forget sharpening it to a fine edge, it's not a knife for that. This knife is made for puncturing and causing damage, right?
it's a (real...) military knife serving a fairly different purpose than most people would use them for.
Love mine, got it as a factory second.

I have owned my Ontario MK-3 for about 15 years. I love most of the Ontario knives, with the exception of the MK-3 Navy Knife. It's grind has a very poor angle, which makes it IMPOSSIBLE to put a sharp edge on it. I have been trying various products over the years, such as Arkansas stones and Diamond stones, but nothing works. It doesn't even make a good butter knife. BUT, it does look very cool in the movies. :)
