I think its clear that you can get any decent knife shaving sharp, But there's just something about a big razor sharp bowie like Ron's that stirs your soul.

as others have mentioned the Buck 110/112s are good steel. i have an old model 112 given by a dear friend, but it can't compare to my Helle safari, its laminated steel, and is a sabre grind. its almost straight razor sharp, better than my little 50s Puma, which is flat ground.

Bob Dozier knives are my sharpest by far. Their edge retension is the best that I have seen. I have many knives and the Dozier's are at the top of my list...........DaveMP

Cold Steel Recon Scout. A bit big for regular hunting, but I use it because it sharpens so well and holds a great edge...

It's a toss up between my Cold Steel TrailMaster Bowie, and a vintage Imperial Pen knife that was my Grandfather's. The Bowie is tucked away and never gets used. The pen knife is carried and used often.

Huntin' Kit depends on the location and species; however, all my knives are always sharp. On the pic, they are my go to set: the Buck 119 I got when I was 17 and has seen its fair share of Southern Deer, the K. of Ak, for more than 15 years I think? And the Cleaver/Cub set has done several large Canadian Deer, Moose, Bears (including that little Guy in the pic) and a Caribou with only a minor dressing with the metal/diamond bar included in the sheath. As much as I love and cherish my Buck the K. of Ak set wins hands down in keeping an edge as you field dress your trophy.

Another Mora fan here.  Just did 2 hogs I shot this week-end & took less than 5 minutes to restore it back to hair-poppin shape!
