.183lb got the salt H1 serrated. From stainless steel to steel, does that count as upgraded?

WayneTIt is meant to be an upgrade, and is more expensive than the base model. Technically H1 isn't steel from what I understand (missing the carbon that can create rust). Some people see H1 as a downgrade for daily use in mostly dry climates. Around saltwater/blood/vinegar etc, H1 can be very useful. It is work-hardened, so the Spyderedge version is considered better than the straightedge by many, since it will have better edge retention. If it were me I would be happy with the upgrade. As long as you have a way to sharpen it, you have a very nice low maintenance blade.

WayneTSpyderco sharpmaker is often the most recommended method. It is easy to use on serrations. Otherwise I have heard good things about some lansky stones meant for serrations. If you want something cheap, many portable sharpeners come with a cone shaped diamond rod that will work on serrations, you will just need to have more technique to get a consistent angle. If you get one of those, just avoid using the pull-through sharpener part on your straight edge knives unless you are really in a pinch. they don't give a good edge and take off too much material.
The other option is to mail mail it to spyderco. I think they do sharpening of their knives for cheap or free, but they will do a good job for you.
Also since you mentioned you are new to it, H1 is pretty neat. It can't rust AT ALL. At the Spyderco factory outlet they have a display where they actually keep some knives permanently in a fish tank.

WayneTSame thing I got, I think it's a bit of a jip because the salt H1 is 56$ on amazon.
But it's all a part of the gamble!
