Great to have you here Kristi!
Spyderco questions come up around here and it is nice to have a subject matter expert aboard.
Please don't beat me up too much over how I recommend to sharpen the Syderco ( and Spyderco type) serrations in the sharpening thread here.
General info: Spyderco is a class operation. I've known the founder Sal Glesser for a long time and am lucky to call him and some of his staff friends.
