154 is an absolute PITA to sharpen!!
I've been working on my MP since I got it and it's STILL only mediocre!!!
Though I don't have proper sharpening tools yet.
I think that I'm gonna get a belt sander. For the price and ability to sharpen any size knife I think that it is a bargain. Not to mention razor sharp at the flick of a switch!!!
I was worried about technique but I think that I will be able to learn quickly.
I know I haven't used my Wiener Dog that much but its 154 CM and it doesn't seem too terrible to sharpen. I just use some Arkansas stones and a strop. Then again I dont let it get that dull either. As to ESEE, they do make some very nice blades. I had an RC-5 and it was a beast. I got rid of it as I needed a knife and not a prybar with an edge <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> and then I got a HRLM in tan/sage and I absolutely love it. Not only does it look better but its more comfy in the hand than the ESEE was too. Not to mention......its TAN!
