Re: How are the serrations on the PM 2 LW SE?
Also, I guess I'm wondering how SE is resharpened when sent in. I know about the wheel and all that for initial sharpening.

It’s a LeafJumper, and the serrations are sharper and smaller than most of my other Spydercos. Those features combined with K390 contribute to the sharpening difficulty.
However, the more I run it across the edges of my Sharpmaker rods, the easier it has become.
For me, the easiest Spyderedges to sharpen have been my Gooney SE, followed by my Chaparral SE.
Do you have/use CBN or diamond rods?
As said: For me the CBNs work really well on the serrated K390 of my Endela.
Can´t really talk about the LeafJumper SE pattern though, owned one (in VG10), but not long enough to gather real sharpening experience with it.
Top three going by pocket-time (update October 25):
- EDC: Endela SE (K390). Endela SE (VG10), Manix 2 LW (REX45)
- Mountains/outdoors: Pac.Salt 2 SE (LC200N), Salt 2 SE (LC200N), Pac.Salt 1 SE (H1)
- EDC: Endela SE (K390). Endela SE (VG10), Manix 2 LW (REX45)
- Mountains/outdoors: Pac.Salt 2 SE (LC200N), Salt 2 SE (LC200N), Pac.Salt 1 SE (H1)

...just fine, so we agree to disagree
Honest question though (coming from one who admittedly is really not a steel or sharpening "guru"!):
Do you find serrated VG10 and BD1N to be really that different overall when it comes to things like edge retention, toughness, and how they sharpen up?

It is a good thought but you would probably be better off commissioning David on this forum and see if he is willing to do it.
