Both mine Came hair popping razor sharp.Guess there are some exceptions though like any manufacturer especially since there sharpened by hand . I would think you should be able to bring the edge back pretty easily.Still trying to get the shoddy factory edge fixed, but it is getting used!

I deleted my original post.If you're referring to the Viper swayback you posted, I believe you. I'd be surprised if I ever received a GEC that was hair popping sharp.
I’ve had the complete opposite results both my Vipers came hair popping razor sharp.I’ve had a few GECs that were close to hair popping sharp. That being said, my Vipers were not. However, I find putting on the initial edge helps me “bond” with the knife.
Great photos! The Burlap Micarta Mustangs and Vipers were my favorite from these last drops.
I'm with you. Having to sharpen them up to my liking is no big deal. I'd much rather that than the way my recent Case knives have arrived. Having to correct uneven grinds takes more time than putting a finer edge on my GECs.I’ve had the complete opposite results both my Vipers came hair popping razor sharp.
But my Gec’s were normally a 50 50 chance if I were to get a sharp one. Not a big deal to me as I love Gec and there very easy to sharpen.
Just saying
2014 SS Vipers have the best snap while still being pinchable. Have seen some beautiful ironwoods polished after the fact.
