Addendum:

Sorry, I forgot to mention that paper and cardboard will blunt just about anything. Its actually as abrasive as a very fine sandpaper.

You can actually strop a knife on cardboard as you would a leather belt. It's also an effective way of getting gunk off the blade.


Yes, but what I was trying to say was the leek held a razor "slice open the envelope" edge about 2-3 times longer than the blade on the leatherman. I know how abrasive paper/cardboard is - I probably own 30-40 knives, a few cheap ones, a few real high end "true" customs (made to order to my design) and everything in between.
