Benchmade. I sent mine in to be sharpened and wrote a note saying how Cabela's kinda messed up blade. They replaced my blade for free.
There's something to be said for cheap knives as well.
Often they can be replaced for the price of postage returning a broken/damaged name brand. And if lost, there's no need to prove ownership.
Just a thought.

You send in a knife to be sharpened? Have you looked at doing your own?
I like my Old Timer 2 or 3 blade. Very sharp and can process deer and hogs with it and if I bust a tip off of one of the blades when using it wrong I just got a handy screwdriver on 1 blade.
HA!
Have I ever broke an old knife where it was not usable..NO.
I have broken cheap made new junk.
But I do like the shape of the blade better on the green one.
The extra curvature helps get into the meat when processing .
I actually like a Tanto shaped end best for removing meat from bones.
No Idea what your plans for that pocket knife are though.
Cutting shad on a flat rock or pokin' people.

Haven't mastered the technique, and frankly, not sure what's the best thing to use.
Spyderco sharpmaker. No technique required. It's so easy a caveman can do it.

Never go wrong with a Benchmade. They are the best.I can't decide which folder to get. I have narrowed my choice down to two.
The Spyderco Manix 2...
...or the Benchmade Griptilian in OD green...

This is a tough decision. What do the masses say?
Best warranty, they only use the best metal, mine keeps its edge for a very long time, best internals, I like them so much that I invested in and sell them.
