Anybody have experience with them? I bought a utility knife for my wife for Mother's Day and it seems just like any other thin knife with cheap plastic handle.
The factory edge got dull very fast and when I went to sharpen it I found out why. One side has a completely different angle than the other side. I mean way off. It took my forever to reprofile the blade even though it's thin and I was using diamond rods. Just so much material to remove. So now that it has a normal edge we'll see how it does.
Seems like it's overpriced by about 3 times unless I'm missing something. Maybe long term use will show it's worth it (I hope). If it holds a sharp edge for a long time is what I'm hoping for. That's 2 of the 3 seki city spydercos I bought where the bevel has been way off. Maybe not a big deal if one has a machine sharpener but sure a pain for manual sharpening.
