>Usually people don't judge a knife by it's out of box sharpness

Maybe knife connoisseurs don't, but normal people certainly do. I don't know the names of any knives, those names you mentioned might as well be brands of washing machines. But if I buy a knife and it's not sharp, what's the point? Why can the factory not sharpen it before selling it to me?

Disclaimer: I would rather have a sharp knife out of the box. But:

Using knives makes them not sharp, so the ability to sharpen is the definition of the knife not being junk. A dull knife is not a garbage knife that needs replacement, it is just a knife that needs sharpening.

I use a Lansky sharpener [1] and it is the cat's meow. Just takes a couple of minutes to put a great edge on.
