A few weeks ago I got a Native II and I've used it quite a lot. Mostly for cutting cardboard. It has the 50/50 blade and I've noticed that the plain part seems to have dulled considerably....the serrated part is still amazingly sharp. Aside from the cardboard I cut up a bunch of old shirts for rags, and cut a lot of plastic bindings. Anyway, my question: is it normal for plain edged blades to lose their sharpness that quickly? Its still sharper than most knives I have, but I have noticed it doesn't have that razor edge it had out of the box.
Also, I am sure this has been asked before, but does anyone know the story behind the spyderco name? Just curious...
