That translates to less maintenance required on your end (sharpening, tuning-up, etc.) but remember a budget knife can perform just as well as a pricier blade if it's well maintained. Don't feel you need to splash out more than $200 on your first EDC pocket knife. Start low and ...
Bench-Top Sharpeners:Also called “tabletop sharpeners” or “fixed-angle sharpeners,” this is a type of largely non-mobile sharpening system that — as its name suggests — is used on a bench or tabletop. Bench-top sharpeners usually see a knife clamped down before the user selects an an...

Sharpening the knife was a breeze, using the KME sharpening system. I had a great, hair whittling edge back on the knife in about 20 minutes, and other than the blade coating wear, the knife felt and looked new. This is a knife that can be trusted, carries well, can go to work ...
The knife has a high flat grind and a diagonal plunge line that terminates behind a small sharpening choil, leaving just the tiniest little “beard” at the leading edge of the choil jutting downward. The drop point shape leaves the tip of the knife almost perfectly level with the pivot and...
The sharpening choil is slightly too far back, leaving just a hair of a beard at the terminating edge of the blade. The Covalent has a run of evenly spaced jimping on the spine for grip, but no thumb ramp or forward finger choil....
