Worst factory edge you encountered

I bought a couple of Queen MM knives a few years back. Sharp as a spoon.

So true. I have two MM one a Queen Whittle, the other a Camillus Muskrat. The whittler , with its thin blades took a fine edge. The Camillus won't get to the level of sharpness I want. It reminds me of sharpening a bayonet.

It kills me that one pays a premium for MMs, I expect more, but they are so cool.

On a side note, at knife that surprised me as being sharp was a Queen Canoe, 1095. It came with an awesome blade even though I was fully prepared to pull out the stones after being a reader of this forum.
 
I have had a ton of very dull Customs.

Maybe.....because I am used to Krein'ed knives now, and all others just seem dull? :confused:

All the Sebbies I get are very dull from CRK, I once sent a reprofiled Sebbie in for a tune up, and forgot they also sharpen them......well they reprofiled her back into a butter knife. :o They also killed a little of my blade height. :mad:

Now if I send them in, I wrap tape around the blade, and write "do not sharpen." Sad really.
 
Queen Schatt & Morgan File & Wire Series Deluxe English Jack came dull as a knee.

I guess anything made by man can have a defect. Most Bark Rivers are sharp but I got one that you could ride to china on and not get cut.

2 of my favourites came with the worst edges. ZT301 and ZT150. They came sharp, its just the angles on the 2 sides where totaly different. One side was about 20-25 deg and the other 35-40deg. It took me hours to get them the same.
