what is the sharpest FACTORY edge you've seen?

[SilentJohn]

Was playing with my kershaw et today that has a really sharp blade and it came even sharper

 

[Coldwood]

Almost any of the Moras; Red Rider knives; SOG Flash II.

Sog Seal Pup without a doubt !! It came wicked sharp. Hair ? what hair ?
I've used it to cut several partially thawed rib slabs. Trim fat off of roasts. (I seem to use it a lot in the kitchen because my new kitchen knives don't hold a candle to the seal pup.) Not at all why I got it.
I have used it a couple times outside light duty and have not needed to sharpen it yet. Hands down the sharpest factory edge I have ever got. Came from Seki Japan.

ESEE Izula. Bit me twice right out of the packaging and then proceeded to shave arm hair off easily.

Yeah kershaws and spydercos do come SCARY sharp however I find kershaws blades edge retention terrible. I had a spyderco ZDP-189 endura that completely rusted out. So for my money Benchmade does a hell of a job with their knives I own 3 and all of them came hair shaving sharp and that's good enough for me.

I have two fixed blade Sog knives (Tech Bowie and Trident II). They both came VERY sharp from the factory. I didn't have to sharpen either one after receiving them. In fact ,the trident II haven't ever been sharpened by me.

My Buck 110's are always sharp when new. Excellent edges on them suckers!!! My Buck Mayo TNT and Waimea were scary sharp when I purchased them and still are. I have also had several Kershaws that showed up with excellent sharpness!!! And last but not least, I just received as a gift a Spyderco Leafstorm that is probably the sharpest knife I have ever received brand new. I am very catious with this little folder.

Cold Steel Recon almost amputated my finger. That being said it was so sharp I didn't even feel it unitl it was 1/2in. deep.

My Cold Steel Black Rhino had a very impressive edge on it, extremely sharp.

Sharpest factory edge I have seen yet.
