Bragging rights -- or not

[Bobbo]

Don't know a thing about "compounds" and now not sure that I need to. Since I got my worksharp and copied the edge on on up edge grinding methods I am consistently producing edges in the +/- 200 range. At 200 you have to have a lot of respect for a knife edge and I've got the nicks on my fingers and hands to prove it. Just accidentally brushing the edge when the knife is laying on the counter top will often produce a minor cut. That's the downside. The upside is almost effortless slicing and chopping. 

Can't believe that I am writing this. A month ago I couldn't find my rear with both hands with regard to knife sharpening. Thanks to this forum for changing that up.
