I'm with you there Mr. Bud. Without a sharpness tester how do you really know? It's just a guess. It shaves well, or cuts paper or it is "scary sharp" or "wicked sharp" or whatever.
IMHO, Mr. Mike changed the landscape with his sharpness testing instruments. Now we can all be on the same page. Not only that, but we can communicate exact sharpness readings and everybody world-wide understands what it means. I doubt that I will ever in my lifetime see another actual standard being created, but that seems to be what has occurred. BESS is now a world-wide understood standard. Thanks Mr. Mike.
