BTW Mark and friends. We're still willing to spearhead an exploration into edge retention. Seems to us as if this is the next great frontier. We just didn't seem to raise much interest and input in the initial attempt. We're going to need help with this project with regard to the parameters that we are testing i.e. toothy vs polished or 150 vs 250 or steel versus ceramic or 15 degree edge vs 22 etc.. As you all know there are dozens of untested theories out there that assert both the short and long term cutting/slicing superiority of various grinds and materials. Once we know what we are testing for we can design an instrument and test bed that will provide the comparative data we are seeking. Also BTW, thanks to everyone for making the BESS Exchange a friendly, acrimonious free, open and informative place to exchange thoughts and ideas. We've got great stuff headed your way this fall!
