I had learned, and intuitively it makes sense to me that a polished edge would have better edge retention than a toothy edge. Fairly recently I was wandering around the ‘Net and saw some stuff saying that due to the way a toothy edge wears, that a toothy edge could have better edge retention than a polished edge. 
At this point I have no idea where I saw that info, but it ran contrary to my understanding. I have always thought that a toothy edge was less stable because the peaks of the “teeth” were not well laterally supported.
What’s the real story?
