Last lear, i was at an Outdoors Convention (basically a flea market for hunting, knives, traps, guns, etc.)
I found a Spyderco Tenacious buried in a pile of case knives, with the box.
At the time, I wasnt into Case, so i picked up the Tenacious for a little over 30 bucks.
The man said he took good care of it, but he also said he sharpened it on a diamond rod.
It looks really good, no rust or chips,
BUT theres scratches. alot of them, right near the pivot.
I checked to see if they lined up with the liners, but they dont at all.
Its really bad on one side, but only a little bit on the other side.
I DO have a picture, but sorry for the fuzziness. It took me a while to get the lighting right so that they can be seen easily, and be able to see them at all.
So my question is, why are they there? Have any of you seen this before? Its got me thinking that he used a strange sharpening method.
Is there a sharpener that does this, or is it just from use?
EDIT: they are the only scratches on it
Heres the pic:
