Well, I think I did say this was from the point of few of a knife nut. I've owned a PST, a Mini, a Micra, a few squirts, and have handled other folks waves and the like - I have NOT seen ONE leatherman that had what I would call an acceptably sharp blade out of the box!

If you hang out with knife folks, you'll eventually hear the term "scary sharp" - to ME, knives should be delivered "scary sharp" - partularly if they are made of high end steel. How do I define "sharp" - take the blade, and try and shave the back of your hand/wrist/arm - if it removes EVERY hair in one pass, with no water/shaving stuff, whatever - THEN your knife is sharp. As some folks say - when your hair runs away BEFORE the blade gets there - it's sharp enough. I'm the type of guy who thinks that out of the box x-acto knives are dull
