So this christmas I received a Spyderco Sharpmaker.

I just have to say... THE BEST sharpening system out there. I thought I was into my Lansky system... tonight I boxed that one up. That Sharpmaker has gotten every blade I have put on it hair popping sharp... not shaving... but POPPING!... literally put the steel on hair and it sheers away. I thought my blades were sharp before... HA!

I am carving swirls through paper with my thick RC3 RC4 and Izula. I even have an old Buck Prince that has been giving me sharpening headaches for years razor sharp now. My KOA Camp Knife is so sharp that I now know what "scary sharp" means... Thanks Sal... great product!

ok, enough of that... lets get to some steel.

I have 3 Spyderco blades. Delica, Endura and a Meerkat. Love em all and at one time or another, carried them for years. But all are either partially serrated or full serrated... so now I think I want... need... (whatever) a plain blade.

Im thinking a Meadowlark or Tenacious. I would like to keep the blade length right around 3 inches. And keeping $$ down is a good thing (event though I secretly covet a Sage).

Thoughts???
 
I was in the same boat as you, thought I was doing great with the lansky until I got the sharpmaker. It's just a really easy system to use.

As far as the new PE blade goes, I would go for the Tenacious rather than the meadowlark. Can't really justify why, but I do have a tenacious and it it really a great bang for the buck. It's a really smooth little folder. Good luck!
