For $100- $200 price range just do it. It's just a damn piece of metal. Do it. Make it sharp. What good is a dull knife?
If you are not making sharp knives then you are making excuses.

We're not talking about after use and down the road stuff we're talking out of the box.
In my opinion if you are defending a knife that comes less than wicked sharp out of the box that costs as much as a BM then you are an apologist.

There are a lot of great reasons to like BM. I know a lot of them myself I'm a big fan, but I refuse to apologize for them coming up short in this respect.
It is a way too common criticism against BM knives. I've read about this a lot on this forum.
The warning on the box is not warranted.

This is an area where BM comes up short and QC is lacking. If you make knives send them out sharp.
Otherwise the "It's not just a knife it's a BM" moto doesn't hold the same clout.
It means "we make really good knives and send them out less sharp than what they can be, this is an area where we are willing to settle for second best".

Guys like Spyderco and even Cold Steel are doing it better.
An excuse is not the same as a reason and there is no reason, but I'm reading a lot of excuses.

A knife is meant to be sharp and cut, that is the entire purpose. Why on earth would you send it out performing at less than 100%?
