I think there is more to a knife than sharpness. If there was not i'd make all my knives in 1mm steel and then put a zero grind on all the way up to the spine.

That would be incredibly sharp, but would most likely bend if you blew on it

My sharpest knife? - whichever I just sharpened!

I consider it scary sharp if it will make a nice clean cut on a cigaratte paper held vertically. This one was taken out to 2000 grit and stropped with white gold on a mousepad-backed hone. The microbevel at the edge is convex. It will slice nice thick chips off a seasoned 1" oak dowel rod with no damage to the edge.

My Kirschen carving knife - second from bottom here

Not much use in the bush but fantastic for roughing out a carving and doing the eyes.

Well my sharpest knife is also a Kellam wolverine, it came very sharp, I actually sliced right into my thumb and part way into my nail with a slight fumble while I was looking at it the day after I got it. Couldn't stop the bleeding for quite a while actually... It's still my sharpest knife because I haven't sharpened it or used it since I got it. Waste of a knife, I know but it'll get used eventually.

I think it would be the old straight razor I fixed up, just for fun. Scarilly sharp, totally useless for most porpoises.

Apart from shaving???

Shaving? Never again! I shave up to just over the adams apple in order not too look *too* shaggy, but that is all the shaving I'll do. Apart from shaving my left forearm whenever I sharpen knives, but that is a different issue.

Basically I agree, they are good for getting a very smooth shave, slitting throats, and perhaps a few more tasks, but totally useless for woodcarving, field dressing moose or splitting kinding. And for fighting off the hordes of zombies (in the rather unlikely event that the need would arise) the viking sword or spear is better choises.

Basically I cleaned the rust off and worked the edge up just to see how sharp a low angle edge in brittle hard steel would be.

Sharpest thing I ever saw straight out of the box was my Carvin Jack. Extremely scary.

Most of my knives have a workable edge but I don't obsess about them.

The deepest cut I ever got from one was from my Leuko though and not from chopping.

 

[Gaoler]

Mine is my Sentou Haku.

Has produced many fine pools of blood when i'm feeling particularly clumsy.

My mora cut an inch into my brother's thumb and necessitated a trip to A&E, so it's got evidence to back up it's claim. It's done me already, so maybe it's working it's way around my family?

Like in final destination!

 

[Ratbag]

Frost's sloyd after it's just been stropped. Silly sharp.

I have a British army Golok that's bloodthirsty. It's cut me and four other people since I've owned it.

It's funny how some blades seem to demand blood sacrifices isn't it?

 

[John Fenna]

I sold a knife to a friend once and it bit him so often that he swore it was out to get him...
Nowt wrong with the knife - or my mates knife skills - and I bought it back then I sold it to someone else who had no probs with it.....
Are knives emotional and capable of love and hate?

my opinels like that, it bites my every few days, its sliced my nail off, the tip of my thumd and general things like that. opinels have the most agressive blades i know of, especialy the small ones.
