Very interesting. I should also thank Werner for providing you a knife sharpened by our methods for testing on your tester.
"Indeed, there is no increase in the cutting force with the number of cuts to cut the BESS thread with the knife." tells us that the edge apex has been cleaned of any metal deformed by grinding, and is strong.
Have you started thinking of a de-rooting method in your sharpening process?
We remove the root of the burr on a rock-hard felt wheel with 1-micron diamonds.
If your grind on Tormek or Scheppach - this is a well-proven method. But mind that the German-made 0.9 g/cm3 felt wheel does not remove the root of the burr as well as the rock-hard felt wheel of 0.6-0.7 g/cm3.
But if not, then you need to adapt the de-rooting method we describe in the Knife Deburring book to the sharpening equipment you have.
Werner is Dr. in physics, worked on development and production of first scanning electron microscopes in Germany.
At the same time he is an advanced sharpener. Do you know many people who sharpened microtomes? - Werner used to.
We are truly blessed that my book was translated to German by Dr. Werner. He has the same deep insight into the burr.
