Hi Steve,
BEFORE - both knives 70 BESS
AFTER:
VINCTORINOX NSF 5.6603.15 = 595 BESS
SWIBO 5.8405.16 = 465 BESS
I am really curious about your brass plate test for the high-Carbon knives - so if deburred OK you see little or no change in the BESS score.
Could you give an example of the blade steel please?
And how did you arrive at this test, what made you think of it?
This may be the missing test I am looking for for the high-end blades, as even with the wire edge they keep scoring excellent sharpness on the tester, unlike low-end knives.
It will be easy for me to modify the SET edge rolling tester into the wire edge tester by replacing the steel linear bearing with a section of a copper pipe and changing the impact angle to perpendicular - standard impact weight is 150 g, and I can keep loading and checking the score to find out the safe load that can show the presence of the wire edge but still not damage the apex.
Just could you tell us more of your experiences with this brass testing?
