Rayne what do you use to sharpen with?

I'll be shocked if they don't just send one out to ya.

Benchmade sent one out through email with no questions asked.

I'm not a fan of the frn handles either, they do feel cheap. I guess they hold up well though!

I thought the same thing as Rayne when I got my first FRN Spyderco, a waved Endura. I thought "WTF? This feels like those cheap hardware store knives they keep in tiny buckets at the counter!" But as I used it I saw just how durable the FRN was. And the lockup was still positive and what I'd expect from Spyderco.

Although I later upgraded to the G10'd Manix 2, I still use the Endura when swimming.

I wanted a spyderco because I didn't want the thumb studs. A few of the kershaw's have flippers, but couldn't find the size I wanted with a flipper.

I love the Spyderco opening hole.
And I like that even their fixed blades have the small opening hole.

Rayne what do you use to sharpen with?

We use a wet stone and then when we're grafting we use a diamond Coated knife sharpening steel to touch up the blades. Knives get a good sharpening at the beginning of grafting season and then depending on what type of wood we are cutting, we will do another sharpening about at the half way point.

I can see that, it's just the first impression I guess.

That's awesome Rayne, not to many people can use sharpening stones anymore.
