I have to say this new Squeak from my initial impressions is going to be a cutting demon.

Looking at the blade it is actually right at if not thinner behind the edge then my Caly Jr. ZDP. The blade polished up very easily. Took about the same time and effort as VG-10. I am really going to love this knife.

I'm intrigued by this Squeak. Looks to be very affordable too :)

Lately my pocket scalpels are an Urban Wharncliffe and a G10 Delica. I've always been able to get VG-10 pretty sharp but recently I used a Sharpmaker and then a leather strop to mirror polish the edge. They are now way sharper than I was able to get before.

My sharpest knife is a ZDP Endura that I took down to 24 degrees inclusive. I don't know if this qualifies as a pocket scalpel.

Hey Chuck :) With the way this thread has evolved everything is fair game. I know I've gone a little nutty, but I do enjoy hearing about very sharp :D

I have gone a lot nutty myself. :D

My sharpest knife by far is my Al Mar Alaskan Bowie, but I wouldn't try using that for any surgical endeavors. As far as Spyderco blades I would say my Spin, as it has one of the better blade shapes and it's thin and sharp.
