So I have several questions, but rather than making multiple threads I thought it better to ask them all here. I am at the tail end of purchasing my first nice knife. I have it narrowed down to either a customized Benchmade Griptillain or a Lion Steel SR-1a.
This brings me to my first question... What do you guys think of these two knives? I have read/watched several reviews on them and they both seem very solid. This blade will be my EDC so most of its use will be on packaging, tape. cardboard, etc . It won't have a very hard life.
Secondly as this is my first real knife I don't know much about sharpening. Are there any good resources you would suggest I look at? Also does the level of difficulty in sharpening D2 and S30V vary?
Lastly, are there any good knife stores in or around Indianapolis? I would like to be able to hold these blades before I decide, but the only place I know with a large knife selection is Smoky Mountain Knife Works... And that is a little far away.
