I just got my Benchmade 856 (P.P.#217/500) from that contest Cumberland Knives had a little while back, and I was wondering if anyone else has one of these, and knows of anything I might want to watch out for that is specific to this model.
I know Benchmade isn't perfect on QC (and the sharpening isn't perfectly even, but the grinds look okay), so I was wondering if there are any problems inherent to this model (not Benchmades or knives in general).
Lastly, any recommendations as to a good angle to sharpen to (seeing as the blade is fairly thin), so that it will work as a good light-duty knife (opening letters, occasionaly shaving to show people why the $5 knife they bought at the counter of a convenience store is not comparable to a folder that lists for $100, etc.)?
--thanks,
JB
