I asked the manager why they didn't sharpen the bread knives we use in the kitchen, and she told me it was because you "can't sharpen a serrated blade". It was to the point of not even cutting a plastic bag!



Well, I had my DoubleStuff with me, and spent 20minutes on it. Used the section of 204 I have for my cricket after... Got a possible edge back, then tweaked the serrations.



Now you don't even have to cut, but the manager will be using a bandaid for a while.



Before: run finger ALONG cutting edge, pressure on it, and nothing, not even a red line...



After: Now POINTS rather than curves for the serrated, about as sharp as the Delica.



She tested the 2-3 inches by the handle, I didn't say anything other than "it will be sharp, be careful", and she didn't listen.



Last time she does that I hope.

"Can't Sharpen Serrations" = "Damn, that was sharp, wanna get me a bandaid?"



We all start with 10 fingers. Those with Spydies have 9 to spare, Still need a thumb. Good thing I still have 8 to spare...

Sheeple just never listen. Watch it or they will make you sharpen all the knives everytime they become dull. But then maybe you could charge them and be able to afford a sharpener.

Why do people do that?

When I check my pistol, I don't put my thumb over the muzzle and squeeze the trigger.

Chalk another one up for the 204. Simply the best, just like Spyderco.

I even sharpen most of the knives for Cadet &quot;Survival&quot;(fall and spring). It takes me about 5-10 minutes/knife, and they do slave labour for me. I have yet to set up or take down a tent! I only cook 1 meal for the weekend, and thats the canned food tossed into a pot(I'm the only one who DOESN'T burn it).

If I was to charge for sharpening, I'd buy a chinook after that weekend. 150 cadets x$2=300... the Chinook is only 250 or so... hell, almost afford a 204 after that.
