That Spyderco "Sticky Edge"

[JTR357]

You know what I mean? That edge you rub against your thumbnail & it sticks like glue. No other manufacturer has that kind of factory edge, from what I have seen.

I know what you mean. The stickiest of sticky edges for me has been the Swayback and Para2 wharncliffe in REX121

Surprising the only two other brands that have done that routinely for me are Cold a steel and BPS knives. It's odd because both generally have pretty ultra budget stuff. I've had some pretty highish end puukkos and other very expensive folders that don't do this...so that fact a 25$ cold steel and a 40$ BPS in 1066 came with PERFECT even zero grinds is weird.

Mora has it too.

Now that I think about it, BUCK has had it too. Every 110 I got was sticky sharp.

Does anyone know what causes the sticky feeling? Is there anyone who has an unused blade with it and can examine it under magnification and let us know what they find?
Thanks!

These may help. Short answer, they're just super acute edges and cut extremely well:
