I start to use microscope and loupe during the sixties. I have stereo microscope and USB and some pocket models - and a lot of loupes. Today I only use loupes. Sometimes I use my stereo microscope in X 10 or 20. I seldome use the USB microscope today.
When I create my sharpening tools I evaluate a lot of things about sharpeners and grinding results and I sharpened ten thousends of edges with my mkcroscopes - but I found that for normal use of a knife loupes works fine - and best.
I am a traditional knife user. That means that I work mostly in fresh wet wood, skin, fresh meat, fish and other natural materials. I evaluate my edges from that type of use.
