Sharpest knife ever...

Production? That would have to be the Native 5 ti that I had...that thing was a 3 inch laser beam out of the box.

Ever? The first Pohan Leu Bluephin that I took delivery of. Zero ground at about 23-25 degrees inclusive and perfect edge geometry, it was and still is the only knife I've gotten that was actually "scary" sharp.
 
The sharpest factory knife I've ever got was from victorinox.
The sharpest custom would be this guy. I was doing some wood working and sliced a third of my thumbnail off with it. Didn't even feel it and just stared at my thumb for a second before it sunk in what happened. :D
 
Hit or miss. Some of my Spydercos have come very, very sharp from the factory. What I hate about factory edges, though, is that they are ground with belts and then buffed the hell out with white compound. This leaves a scary sharp edge, but when you really inspect it, it looks like a melted, badly blended coarse grind... which is what it is. A bevel slapped on with coarse belts and then finished to an apex with buffing compound, with deep gouges that have been partially buffed out, not progressively eliminated with a proper grit progression. That can make for a very, very sharp edge, granted. The problem is that the steel isn't revealed the way a good grit progression does, the bevel is uneven from heel to tip, and I seriously question the amount of heat such a process puts on that apex.

In conclusion: for any knife I use myself, I put my own edge on. The exception is very cheap beaters and box cutters I use to do dirty work like opening boxes where packing tape gunk is going to get all over the edge.
 
I gotta say, I own a lot of knives
and both of my ZTs came out of the box ready for surgery
they were true razors
