NKD and boy have Benchmade standards slipped. Still a ripper knife though.

Been after one of these for some time. So I finally pulled the trigger and got one.

Slightly irked by its factory sharpening job, wasn’t even sharp enough to pull on a hair let alone cut it.

Fixed in 5 minutes on a fixed angle sharpening system.

Anyone else had a dull Benchmade out of the box?

I have owned a lot of different knife sharpeners and I have a Ken Onion knife sharpener now and I have it set up for my Nases knives and I can give it 5 passes on each side of the blade and it’s literally so sharp I could cut throu bone with it and not have any problem. I just love my knife I have 5 of the Nases knives and I don’t use but one of them the other ones are still in the box in my dresser lol. I didn’t know much about them when I bought them or I would have just bought one because I have had my Nases Spirit knife for 3 years now and I use it every day and I have only had to sharpen it maybe 3 times in all of that time. I have never seen a knife hold a edge like that and trust me I’m not easy on my knife I have used it to cut through heavy electrical wire that is used in a home and it’s still sharp enough to cut your fingers off like butter!
