I own about 40 knives or so, and am about 2 years in to collecting them.

They are from a variety of makers, including CRK, Benchmade, Spyderco, Cold Steel, Gerber, CRKT and others.

The sharpest one I've ever received from the factory by far is my Spyderco Ulize, which I have to be really careful with when wiping smudges off the blade off with a t-shirt, for instance, with as it will cut slices in them. I've ruined several that way.

Sharpest or "pointiest tip" I've ever experienced is between my Spyderco Civilian and my Cold Steel Tsunami. The Civilian might have an edge, but the Tsunami is scary to barely touch as well.

Which made me wonder, what is the sharpest knife you ever received new from the factory, a "factory edge?"

Which single knife seemed to arrive sharper to you, than any other, straight out of the box?
 


This Grip came through with a very sharp edge, and I have cut myself with just a casual contact with the serrated edge on my Contego.

Sharpest out of the box was the custom I just got. It is face shaving sharp. My sharpest production knife was the CS Tanto Lite. All of my Beckers and my BMs came with nice edges, but not hair popping scary sharp.
 
Mini Ritter Grip
Spyderco Native FRN

Both crazy sharp, the kind of sharp where you take extra time using and closing them.
 
Cold Steel Peace Maker III. I shaved my arm with it OOTB and not only did it shave off all the hair with zero feeling (scraping, grabbing, etc.), it also left me with several tiny flaps cut into my skin that I didn't even know about until I looked down and saw blood seeping out. :thumbup:
 
Anything Kershaw/ZT but this CB Leek was the sharpest.

My sharpest was either my delica or my small insingo, both were insanely sharp. They just glide through cardboard like its nothing.
 
My sharpest out of the box was Spyderco Delica 4 in FFG/ZDP189.

Kershaw leek with mini grip a close second. The leek seems to get scary sharp if I put the ultra fine to it.
 
Benchmade large Griptilian. It was stupid sharp. Could cut cigarette paper. Handed it to a co worker, when he handed it back he was bleeding. Didn't even feel it.
