I agree, and I too am looking forward to checking out what a M3 MicroForge edge is all about.
If nothing else, it is innovative and different, something which is almost nonexistent in the at home blade sharpening world. Sure, folks have come up with all sorts of new variants of belt grinders and grinding wheel contraptions, but while these may indeed have incremental improvements in some aspect or another they represent no radically different approach or innovation.
When I think about it, coming up with some significantly new approach to sharpening is a real head-scratcher. My hat’s off to Work Sharp for their out of the box thinking and effort.
Actually, the only real change in sharpening that I’ve ever seen in all the time I’ve been involved in sharpening is thanks to Mr. Mike who finally gave us a way to reliably and accurately test edge sharpness.
