what was your sharpest knife out of the box?

[double man]

The sharpest knife I ever bought was one of Spyderco's sprint run Calypso Jr's. in ZDP189.........scary sharp!!! I've had some Benchmades, Kershaw's William Henry's,but nothing has come close to that one Spyderco.

BM Rukus, I guess the high flat grind helped. Scarey sharp.

That's a toss up between my Spyderco Military in CPMD2 and my Benchmade 555HG in 156CM, both nasty sharp right out of the box.
