Spyderco Forums

I recieved my 204 sharpmaker in the post today and was very imprest but, on close inspection I noticed one of the grey stones and one white stone is slightly Bent, is this going to cause me any problems when sharpening? Would appreciate any advise. Thanks Simon.

Hi Simon C,

I experienced the same problem with one of the gray stones on my new 204 as well. I called Spyderco and they replaced the stone free of charge.

I wasn't sure it would cause problems and didn't have the bent stone long enough to determine. I was concerned the slight change in geometry may make it difficult to get a consistent edge (or something like that). So I opted to return it.
