Stop posting pics of that knife!
I'm getting a new Hankala next month. He's coming to a knifeshow in Belgium!!!
Michiel
Yer a lucky dog Michiel! I would love to meet Jukka! Please tell him I said hi. I doubt he knows my forum handle, but just tell him Terry from Michigan says hello! Also, I know Pekka and Jukka are good friends. I wonder if Pekka will be there as well?
Do you have any particular model in mind? I know you have a couple of his already eh?
I am fond of this one and it is verrrry sharp.
Like the man wisely said "the one I sharpened last...."
I think its not so much "which is the sharpest" so much as "which is the easiest to keep in a good sharp condition". The little mora carving knives are great. I have only ever kept them right by stropping, only time I needed to use a waterstone was to get rid of a ding that was causing a scratch on the wood when carving....the steel almost sharpens itself. The opinel steel is nice to maintain as well. I have one of those finn bear knives which I got out of curiosity. It will take a decent edge too, easily as good as a fresh swann morton scalpel blade.

My Fällkniven F1/3G arrived today (mine's #0105, is there a list somewhere?), it is now the sharpest knife I own.

That ought to be sweet.
Superb choice!
Still in the knife porn business eh Hoodoo? They're stunners!
I think my sharpest is probably my Enzo 95 Nordic - really, scary sharp, and scary sharp out the box too. Bit me pretty quick.
My worst knife incident came from a Clipper, but the ability to go through my foot isn't really a function of edge sharpness I don't think

PS: Hoodoo, have you always been a mod? I've never noticed before

They needed someone for the graveyard shift...
that sounds fair enough 
Mine is my Mora Craftsman. It was sharp right out of the box, then I watched the Ray Mears Youtube vid on how to sharpen a knife in the field. I copied him and made it scary sharp.
Then last week for funzies I was practicing making figure 4 deadfalls in the back yard. The knife slipped while I was trying to start a split in a stick and damn near cut the pad of my thumb off! It bled like a sonufabitch leaving an easy to follow trail from the yard, through the garage, and to the kitchen sink. Got 5 stiches in it now.

Hoodoo,
That Pekka blade is so sweet. You just keep on posting those, I'll fold one of these days...

my sharpest knife is my EKA W11. i'd agree with people on here that some knives tend to want to draw blood everytime you use it lol
you can always tell whether a bushcrafter is left or right handed by the amount of cuts on the opposite hand:twak:

Thanks mate, cant seem to sell it though
When i first started making my knives and before i knew what a good knife was i never had a problem selling a knife.
If i made a woodlore clones i would have no problem selling them. But i refuse to because why would i make a worse knife
But hey ho it's only a hobby
I do think you need one Jimmy. Think how warm it will feel in the hand when it's minus fifty up yonder.
I think it would probably be my Traditional MORA Knife,the one with the Red Birch Handle.
It's cheap but very sharp and it holds a wicked edge,plus is one of the quickest knives I have to sharpen,it's the knife I carry most,and my prefered neck knife

Sharpest user is probably the lock knife on my Lifeventure KFS, or one of my Opinels.Similar threads
