Thank you SHARPCO for having a look at this. The BESS C chart is only a general reference and not intended to be absolute. This is obvious in that a given manufacturer's chef knife might measure 100 or it could measure 500 and we have no control over the sharpening process utilized. In our experience the chart is, generally representative of kitchen cutlery sharpness levels and seems to have served its informational purpose to date. If the requirements of your marketplace are different then, by all means, feel free to modify the chart in order to make it better fit the knives found in your market.
