hello,
I recently purchased a benchmade 940-1 which came slightly dull from the factory. when I began to sharpen it on my spyderco 2x8" fine stone, I found that I was unable to sharpen the blade. The edge from the heel of the blade to about 1.5 inches in bows upward ever so slightly enough so that the blade will not lay completely flat on the stone in order to sharpen it. I had to buy the spyderco sharpmaker to utilize the narrower stone to sharpen the slightly funky shape of my blade. If you place the edge of my 940-1 on a flat surface, you will see that the blade does not touch that surface completely making sharpening on a stone impossible. I checked another 2 at my local authorized dealer and they were both that way too. I checked out the regular 940 and it did not have this issue. To anyone else with the 940 or 940-1, do you have this issue? With the sharpmaker, I have had no problems sharpening and the s90v takes a killer edge and cuts very aggressively.
