So, the Victorinox spend another 24 hours relaxing in the drawer. I pulled it out and tested from handle to tip:
135, 140,130, 105
After one pass each side of blade with the leather belt on the Kally:
120, 100, 100, 105
In summary over two days: (I have add some numbers to Greppers list below...)
First sharpening: 110, 130, 110, 125 = 475 / 4 = 118,75
After overnight : 160, 150, 150, 175 = 635 / 4 = 158,75
After stropping : 125, 110, 105, 100 = 440 / 4 = 110,0. (Second sharpest result)
Overnight #2 : 135, 140, 130, 105 = 510 / 4 = 127,5
After stropping : 120, 100, 100, 105 = 425 / 4 = 106,25 (sharpest result)
You can se what I did above.
It shows me (I think) that after 1 days resting and then stropping, the edge is sharper then the first sharpening - and when it is repeated 24 houers later again - we have the sharpest result.
So, not only have Grepper take away the oxidation, he have also remove some small amount of metal.
It would be interesting if Grepper could sharpen an edge, meassure it and then as fast as possible, put the blade in a place without air.. And meassure it again 24 hour later.
If the edge are duller - then perhaps it is not oxidation, or, have it oxidate in another way?
Gas is heavyer then air - so keep the blade in a glas filled with gas can be a possibillitie?
I am not good on this - but I think that you are Grepper
