Kinda the other side of the Sharpest Knife thread...
What is the Dullest or Least Sharp Knife you ever received New?
Mine was a Busse Game Warden... I have had other Busse that were satisfactory or better. But a FFGW I got was a Blunt instrument!
 
Case knives are an American icon and the fit and finish is generally quite nice but I don't recall ever seeing one out of the box that was even reasonably sharp - and that goes clear back to the mid 60's. Fortunately for me, I'm pretty good at sharpening dull Case knives. :D
 
Every single Queen I've ever owned has been been dull right from the start. I've probably owned 50 or more so far and not one has had a decent edge. I'll still buy them because I love...and hate them. :)
 
I also have a Queen Utility that is Dull as Heck and I have a Triple Action Spear Point that is Mighty Sharp!!! Funny!!!
 
A Gerber 600 folder I bought from the Mac tool guy.
I swear that turned me off the Gerber since then...and that was in the late 80's
 
Case and Queen Cutlery, although Queen seems to be getting better or I've been winning the keen edge lottery with them.
 
BM930 Osborne Kulgera was the dullest knife I ever got.Must've slipped through QC...
 
Large Regular Sebenza...
Very very sad...
It was just as bad after I sent it in to have it resharpened....
It was easily the worst factory edge I ever got....
 
Got a knife once called something like the "Alaska Hunter" awful edge made of rare pakistani steel. I've had sharper marbles.
 
A very early Great Eastern Cutlery 2 blade hunter, right after they opened.

BUT, it's not that it had a really bad edge, it didn't really have one at all.

It got out without being sharpened, but I sent it in and they did fix it right up!
 
Benchmade Tether knife. I could slap my arm with the edge without any bad things happening.....I fixed it though! :D
 
Not counting crappy no-name knives the dulles I have ever seen out of the pox was the gerber paraframe. The blade edge strikes firesteels quite nicely though.
 
Probably my Scrapyard Bird Dog. I really don't know what the deal was. I've gotten 1/4 inch thick blades from them that would shave hair and one that would tree top hairs, and the thinnest blade they ever produced was the dullest. Go figure.

My Queen stockman did not come with an edge ground on 2 of the blades, and the third had an edge but was too dull to even slice paper, much less effortlessly push cut it like a good edge should.
 
One Puma IP I picked up some months ago. Couldn't even cut paper, but I got it fixed. A disappointment nonetheless.
 
Mod 675 plunge lock, with 154cm steel. It not only was "won't cut you dull" out of the box it would only get sharp on the back 2/3 of the blade. The front remained dull until I nearly gave it away, because I found it a disgusting POS.
