Truly, yes I do. It's sales hype, plain and simple.


I just looked all over the website and couldn't find anything about "self-sharpening," and I know our rep doesn't use that line when he swings by to stock us. So my presumption is they claim that, knowing full well that Xikar will sharpen them for free if you send them in. CI and the other retailers essentially gets a free marketing tool at Xikar's expense.


Edit to add that I'm not bashing anyone here, and I don't think Xikar cares if retailers claim "self-sharpening", because they openly and willingly sharpen cutters for free for the lifetime of the product, and it improves sales from their end as well.
