***Editorial footnote***
For anyone who might not know of or yet handled a Spyderco serrated edge, it was Syderco who brought really aggresive sharp serrations to folding knives. These knives come danger sharp and this is so they cut stuff.

I have been lucky to have sharpened many dozens of these over the years here in my shop. My Apologies to Sal and Kristi for how I do it and teach it to be done in the field with flat stones but the point here is that they are SHARP.

Edited to clarify
Spyderco's knives take a beating out here in Oregon. The "locals" that come around here are LEO's, fireman, loggers, farmers, ranchers, AKA knuckleheaded buddys of mine.
I never intended to imply these knives go dull easy because they don't, period.
After they've cut wire, worked on logging machines and done hundreds of other things they weren't supposed to, sometimes I'm asked to touch them up, especially just before hunting season.
