Jan, don't worry about your english! You are light years ahead of me on secondary language skills.
I've actually never heard of atomic plane slip, but your diagram does help a lot!
I could be off base, but it looks/seems to me like it would take plastic deformation to make the atomic planes slip, since I assume atomic bonds are extremely strong, especially compared to the pressure of stropping.
Not trying to be a naysayer, Jan. Just seems like that would be something I'd be familiar with if it relates to sharpening.
I notice that the diagram is of "face centered" atomic structure, which means that is a martensitic diagram, right?
