I have a Benchmade "Griptilian" that I bought 12 years ago. It seems like I use it on a daily basis and I've never sharpened it on a stone. Just used a steel.

After owning Buck's and Kershaw's for years, I think the Benchmade is quite a bit better. Though I liked the Kershaws (and still have a few around in drawer's), the Benchmades are superior and light years ahead of "Buck".

I got a Cabela's catalog the other day that had a model of the Benchmade (with the "axis lock" which I much prefer) for $40.00. I think it was a bit shorter than the "Grip" that I own and almost bought one for a spare but I think my wife tossed the flier. (She's cagey that way.)
