what is the sharpest FACTORY edge you've seen?

[Mark J]

The sharpest out of the box for me was a Marbles Ideal fixed blade. Boy that thing was scary sharp! Nothing in a folder or fixed blade has even come close. Other than that, my Spydercos are always very sharp when they arrive; sharper than most other folders. This was particularly true for my Civilian. I don't even want to get near that edge!

Definitely the Spyderco Mini Persian for me, but the Kershaw Blur is a close second.

Kershaw SG2 Ti JYD II
Kershaw SG2 Blur
Kershaw Ener-g
Kershaw RAM
Kershaw Barrage
Kershaw Black boron and 24k gold plated leek

These all scared me they were so sharp. The SG2 were hair whittling out of the box.

I would have to say My Kershaw whirlwind. I have two and both could shave as close as any razor straight out of the box. Next was my BM 750.

 

[J_Curd]

Any Kershaw SG2 model. Spooky sharp out of the box.

Sharpest ever Kershaw KS 1740 Ener-G

 

[stormyone]

A Benchmade 733-01 S30V.
It was wicked, scary, dangerous sharp.
It was sharpened by Satan himself.
It was so sharp you wouldn't know it cut you.

That's sharp!!! Chuckled when I read that one.

Ironically, I'm going to have to go with my Kershaw Leek 1660ST (stainless, half-serrated), too! Kershaw ships some pretty serious edges!

Coincidentally---there is no irony here, so ironic is not the correct word. I see people do this all the time, so I'm just calling it to your attention.

My sharpest knife was a Kershaw E.T.

All of my Spyderco's have come scary sharp. I think the sharpest I've had would be the CF / ZDP-189 Caly3.
