My Spyderco knife by far is the sharpest thing out of the box I have ever seen. I got to the point I did not want anyone to see it because they would want to touch it. No matter how many times I warned them not to touch the blade the first thing someone would do is lightly run their finger down the blade and cut the $@^%$ out of themselves.   :knothead:  
Mine too!!! I have the cm40 native folder.  I bought a gatco x sharpener with the ceramic and its scary how sharp it is.  that sv30 sure holds the edge too.

My buck 110 folder i got for 18th birthday in 1981.  I did pick up a very nice damascus blade skinner with stag handle....and plan on sharpening it up this weekend but seems like it would hold a very good edge.
Keep em sharp,

all of them!  nothing hold's an edge like my old K-Bar, but the outdoor edge holds an edge for long time too.

I use a Traditional Hunter from DiamondBlade Knives.

Used it on a pig, several deer and couple bears since I've had it and I've only ever touched it up once.

Those things come out sharp and stay sharp.

You won't find a dull knife in our house. You can shave with our kitchen knives. Now if you're asking which one will hold an edge long enough to shave a second time, that's a different question   :)

I'm surprised more people haven't mentioned Mora's. They are easy to sharpen, due to the scandi grind, made from 1095, and cheap. They hold an edge well. You can get them in stainless,  and laminated as well. But, for me it is a homemade knife out of 5160. Stays sharp, really sharp.

my buck 110 folder,seems to stay sharp. just a pain to clean inside of.

My buck 110, buck BLW 520, and my buck 371. All hold great, I steel them in between jobs but that's because it's what I do. I don't take them to the stone very often. I have done 5deer easily at camp befoee

The one I just sharpened.

Now as to the question of which one holds an edge the longest.....
Silence over speed.  Heavier arrows never hurt.

I have an Elk Ridge skinner that is 440 stainless steel and holds an incredible edge9not a factory bevel,I make my own bevel). A marine KBAR that I love, and a Gerber Steadfast that I make the bevel on and its freaken sharp and holds a great edge.

with the correct bevel any knife can hold an edge for a few guts and then some.
Some people live an entire lifetime and wonder if they have ever made a
difference in the world, but the Marines don't have that problem.

I have a couple Buck 105s that really hold an edge.  And my LaClair Skinner holds a great edge, too.  It's really scary how sharp I can get the Skinner with my KME.

I just got a PUUKKO from kellam knifes.  It is sharp sharp.  Before that I had a browning featherlight knife that was my go to knife.  That one got lifted.

It would have to be my Bark River. If I had one problem with this knife, it would be the thickness of the blade. Other than that...Awesome!

My blind horse knife. Best hand made knife I have ever had my hands on. Hoping to get some blood on it this year. Small business out of Ohio. Check them out!
