Very good knife for hunter

So I got this knife a while back and let me say, it came razor sharp out of the box so that was great and impressive! And the blade is thick too! However, I wanted to put it to the test and so I used it to cut into some boxes aggressively giving it a forged in fire inspired sharpness test, and it cut the boxes easy and stayed sharp for the most part but I ran into a few small issues! First off, the guard is wiggly now! I’m not sure if that’s because I put too much force on it or something but it is wiggly! That being said the guard being wiggly doesn’t affect its performance overall as it doesn’t move enough to be noticeable unless you apply force to the guard! Second, after a few days of slicing it into boxes (with relatively quick force) , I noticed a chip on the blade but honestly it looked more like a dent. I feel like it’s because of how thin the metal is once it reaches the second bevel. However, I was able to sharpen out the dent with relative ease so that was nice! On the other hand, something I have a problem with that is not possibly my fault is the small bevel on some parts of the blade that make it really hard to see where the bevel actually is and thus makes it kinda hard to sharpen. However, i’m sure it would be no problem to the experienced blade sharpener. At the bottom of the handle, the leather also seems to be drying out or bleeching or something but once again this could be my improper storage of the knife so I don’t know! Although I looked at the description after i bought it, the description said that its 440 stainless steel which is supposedly pretty strong but the first reviewer said it was 420c stainless steel which is not as strong, I’m not sure how the reviewer would know that unless they’re on the inside, but they still said it was relatively strong! In conclusion overall the blade held up and none of the problems that I listed above really affected the performance of the blade so I think as long as you take care of it, it could serve you well! The photo against the fabric is from when I first got it! The one of the handle is just to show the discolouration at the bottom of the handle! And the blade picture is to show how small the bevel is!
