I'm impressed at how sharp this thing gets, and how easy it was to get it insanely sharp. I gave it a nice even 40° inclusive edge, and it's sharper than some of my knives with a 30° inclusive edge.SWEET I gotta get me one. The bk16 is my favorite of the tweeners

More like tree topping sharp, it'll cut em keeping the edge hovering over the skin.That's hair shaving sharp

Honestly if you get one go with the Ken onion addition. Then additional features are good but the ability to upgrade to the blade grinding attachment is where it shines. The blade grinding attachment is more versatile, easier to use, gives you allot more control and yields much sharper results.
If I'd ran that 16 thru the standard configuration I'd have much higher ground bevels oppose to keeping the factory edge and sharpening it. I haven't used the stock attachment since getting the blade grinder.
Here's a picture for reference. The stamped bk2 sharpened on blade grinder, other is with stock set up as it comes...can see bevel difference
