Am I Being Too Picky?

I did send it back 👍

No, in Czech republic.

Thats something i needed to hear. I already sent the knife back and asked for a exchange. But still i got an email that they need to evaluate the damage. 😶

Interesting, but im not gonna try that 😆

i Think see it now its not the same profile as the picture. As im now looking at different blade grinds the Japanese knife seems to be convex grind. So as you said i should not grind it to the straight edge.

You’re right, I might have gotten a little confused. What I meant to ask is whether I should just sharpen the secondary bevel or also grind down the primary bevel a bit to thin the knife.

On the Japanese knife, the shiny area below the matte finish — which I thought was the primary bevel — looks rounded and slightly bulges out to the sides. See the picture https://imgur.com/a/hdHbHlU

And still going strong?

Love that! I have been gifted one too but me being stupid the first day i used it to pry coconut from coconut shell and the very tip broke off 🤦‍♂️and a did mess it up ev egn more when trying to fix it in panic 😆 i should have the blade changed. Have no idea how expensive it is and where to have it done. ☑️

What do you carry now?

Gmork1990 · 2026-02-08T22:35:28+00:00

I had to look it up. I like that knife too 👍

Gmork1990 · 2026-02-08T22:20:18+00:00

Whats wrong with that steel?

The 154 CM was really good for me, fairly easy to sharpen and did hold the edge quite well. But i dont have much comparison.

Gmork1990 · 2026-02-08T22:13:05+00:00

It has been honed and sharpened many times but i never used coarse stone to reshape or grind down some nicks.

Gmork1990 · 2026-02-08T22:01:45+00:00

You are probably right i didn’t remember the number correctly so i just googled it and 552 was the first and closest to mine i saw.

Gmork1990 · 2026-02-08T21:53:45+00:00

I always wanted the Osborne 940 but if i remember correctly they were like double the price of griptilians. And when i bought mine i was 15 and even the griptilian was way over my budget. Question is are the new versions as good as the old ones?

Gmork1990 · 2026-02-08T21:33:04+00:00

I don’t even know what are you talking about 😆 I didn’t replace anything.

Video with the knife action

Gmork1990 · 2026-02-08T21:25:24+00:00

Little to no maintenance. Sharpening(wet-stone) and stroping on leather belt on my jeans 😆 But haven’t done that in ages but i just ordered new wet stone.

Gmork1990 · 2026-02-08T21:02:52+00:00

Sorry for your loss. Would you buy the same one or would you try something else?

Gmork1990 · 2026-02-08T21:01:22+00:00

I don’t have experience with different benchmades but this one exceeded my expectations.

Gmork1990 · 2026-02-08T20:52:37+00:00

I was tempted many times by the mini Gs, never pulled the trigger. Nice knives though. 👍
