So I got a One Stage knife sharpener (Im not to good at stoning a knife) And tried it on a a dull cheap knife before the Benchmade and it put a very pretty edge to it. I use it on my benchmade and it cant seem to get rid of the steak knife serration like rough horrible edge on it. Im so sad I may just send it to benchmade and ask them to put a pretty edge on it along with my barrage.
