So I decided I want a good, quality knife. Benchmades have appealed to me most lately. I noticed you can custom order a Griptilian and it looks right up my alley, so I'm putting money aside for it now.
I decided on a drop point blade. The sheepsfoot looks nice but I wouldn't like the thumb hole opening and while the tanto is the best looking (IMO) I've read its harder to sharpen properly and that the drop point is a better choice for general usage. I plan on using this for day to day things. Opening letters, boxes, bags, plastic packages that products come in, etc. Normal things.
Should I go with a serrated blade or a plain edge? Also, which material? I see you can pick from 4 but IDK which one is the most suitable choice.
It doesn't really matter, but I have a new Lansky sharpening kit with all 5 stones that it will be sharpened with when needed.
Thanks.
