I just have time for a few lines, but I want to thank everyone for sharing your interest for sure. 
While I have cut a lot of rope, I haven't had time to do more scientific research with the KN100.
In my experience, a 1k poly diamond edge seems to work best with my 52100 on hemp rope and big game, but lately I'm finding coarser edges showing a lot of potential. The 140 Atoma edge holds well on my knives, but that's a very specific edge. I can tell you for sure it's much different than a 150 grit waterstone.
It's going to be pretty challenging to input even basic data like steel type, edge angle and grit. That's why about one person has taken the time to do significant cutlery specific research, but he adroitly minimized the variables by sharpening everything *scientifically* accurately.
I'm sure looking forward to further developments from our Outstanding sponsor! Thanks EOU!
