Fortunately, fitting the Sharpest Knife Competition into a very tight IWA 2019 schedule ended up working out perfectly. Huge thanks must go to Tim and Anne Reeve, Matt and Marissa of Chris Reeve Knives for being such wonderful hosts, as well as everyone who took part and joined in the interesting discussions this competition and the measurements sparked off. Here are the Results.

And the winner was appropriately entered by Clay of Wicked Edge sharpening systems with a great average score of 139 BESS.
The Winner:
An honourable mention:
An honourable mention must go to an entry from Benchmade for being a very respectable runner up, but notably with the standard factory edge.
