Since 1990, the Endura has been an EDC staple—and for good reason. For one, it was among the first affordable pocket knives that could be opened with one hand, even with gloves Read More
This question keeps getting posted by the Official. It certainly eroded my confidence in purchasing knives here. I would not want to buy a car from a hotdog vendor in the Bronx.
Assuming you are not already able to sharpen a knife well:
Spyderco offers a sharpening service as part of their warranty. They only charge $5.00 for return shipping if all you need is sharpening. https://www.spyderco.com/service-support/warranty-repair/
If you do not want to ship the knife back to them, you might consider buying a Spyderco Sharpmaker kit to easily maintain your knife's cutting ability. I have one of these, and they are a good way to put an edge on a knife without spending all day at the task.
I personally sharpened mine on water stones and finished using a strop, but knife sharpening is something I believe you need to like doing in order to get good results.
I use a work sharp on all my blades. It has everything you need. Corse and fine diamonds, corse and fine ceramic, and a strip built in. It is also guided. Great product especially on the harder steels.
I used a lansky to polish the factory edge and then stropped it on a leather belt with a little polish. Haven’t touched it again yet. Holding a great edge
If you are happy with the factory edge angle, a leather strop loaded with compound will work nice to maintain the edge, a ceramic rod would also do the trick. To sharpen from dull, I would use diamond rods/stones or water stones.
