I think it's pretty much universal that if you sharpen your knives to a level where they shave hair easily, someone is going to have a problem with them. When my wife's friends come over, I usually put tape on the handle of any knife that's been recently sharpened, and they avoid them (so does my wife).

I sharpen my wife's knives only with a 1k diamond hone and then steel them, but my wife's friends have problems with those, too.

The spydercos seem pretty ideal for knife touch ups because they're hard enough to bend the bevel on a soft knife AND sharpen it (oilstones are nice to use, too). I'm cheap about some things and don't like stones that are designed to blast away a large part of the edge of a knife while sharpening it. Same with razors. I'd like to keep as much of the metal as possible, and the spydercos are definitely sparing on the metal.
