only to be insulted by several of the respondents <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" />.

I was one of those big, mean, nasty men who "insulted" him.

He was blaming the blade for his lack of ability to sharpen it. Stainless is hard to sharpen - it's a well known fact. That's not Strider's fault, that's the guy's fault for buying a knife and not doing his homework first.

154CM is hard to sharpen too, especially the Busse version. If someone decided he wanted to get rid of his Scrap Yard's to buy all Rat's, since they are 1095, and he trashed Scrap Yard for his inability to put an edge on a known hard-to-sharpen steel, I would give him grief for that too.

I don't even like Strider, but don't blame the steel if you don't have the skill to sharpen it. If he had said "I have a strider that doesn't fit my needs, and I'd like to pick up a Busse because I hear INFI is easy to sharpen", I wouldn't have a problem with it - but he was bashing a company unfairly, due to his own lack of knowledge, and I think that sucks.

After making assumptions about this guy's situation you choose to insult him and give him grief to defend a company you do not even like. That is your choice but it really makes you seem pretty immature. I do not remember him saying that all strider products suck because he could not get an acceptable edge on this one knife but you say his is 'blasting the company unfairly.' I guess there is no possible chance that the temper on that one knife is messed up. Instead the only possible explanation is this guys lack of skills, at least according to you. Very scientific and very educational, thank you for attempting to enlighten him.
