I would say SOG and Kershaw,also most of the Cold Steel knives I own nearly chase the hair away from your arm!My Seal knife was razor sharp as was every SOG I own most of them hold their edge well enough,but not like BK's.The SteelHeart I just got shaves hair and cleanly slices computer paper even with that thicka#@ blade (which I love) I think edge geometry is more important than actual edge sharpness,can't beat a flat grind.Did I mention how much I love this knife..I also have a Kershaw Outcast(more a shortsword than a knife!) which will shave hair but the EG isn't all that great it's too thick at the edge [img][image]http://i354.photobucket.com/albums/r406/johnpzane/43630364.jpg[/img][/image]
