I searched the forum and I could not find any information. I just got a ZT 801 and I was thinking about sharpening it. My concern is if the knife can become less desirable if sharpened?
 
All knives need to be sharpened from time to time. If you're worried about resale value. It's better to stick with the factory grinds when sharpening as opposed to change the factory grind to something different. Why buy the knife if you're not going to use it????
Any knife that has been used does not fetch as much as a NIB knife.
 
I agree, but I have another lower value knife that I rather beat on. I was just curious if it would ruin the value but then again its nice to have a knife with a mirrored edge.

Just don't scratch up the blade. Put painters tape on everything but the edge.
