Articles on Factors that Control Edge Retention

[Larrin]

I wrote two very long articles on what factors control edge retention of knives. That includes the steel, hardness, and edge geometry. I had to analyze a huge database of CATRA tests from a major knife manufacturer. There were a lot of questions answered and it's too much to summarize here. I hope you like the two articles:
