Ok so I have a dilemma, I have 2 microtech socoms, a mini and full size both from 2002 and both in 154 cm. I have had these 2 knives since then and need them sharpened. Do you guys think it would be ok to trust a local sharpener that does knives for a living, he is more used to chef steel and not familiar with pocket knives as much. He has great reviews but that is from a chef community verse more of a knife nut community. I did speak with him on the phone and he says he can get 154cm to whittle hair. Every 6 months these knives have only ever been sharpened by microtech but they have a 2 month back up currently. Would you let this person sharpen your babies?

America has reached 250 years, and I am grateful to be here, in the best country in the world. Thank every one of you who helps make this country a better place, those who have gone before and risked it all, and those who've paid the ultimate price to make the United States what we are today.
Happy Birthday America! Let Freedom Ring for all time!

If you have any issue finding someone local send me an email. I offer mail-in services and specialize in modern personal cutlery.
AUS-8 is a bit softer and has less carbides than 154cm but if you have concerns it's better that knife than the Microtechs.
