Also, thank you for posting on the Exchange.
Several times a week I go to your Grit Chart and think of you.
That hobby store you mentioned, was it the gun store where you sharpened knives some years ago?
Have you put any effort into measuring blade bevels (in degrees or etc)? Member JAN shared his goniometer with us several weeks ago and got me again interested. Another sharpener purchased Catra's least expensive model, the outer ring diameter limits inspection to maybe pocket knives.
Again thanks

Thanks, Rupert! No, this was not that shop, that shop closed down back during the ~2014-15 period, when guns and ammo simply weren't available and demand was insanely high. They couldn't get any stock in to sell, ironically. This was a local place that was a bikes-and-hobby shop. Fortunately, it looks like they're planning to re-open after they've gotten this fixed.
I haven't spent any great amount of time measuring the angles on these, in this case I used the marker trick (actually, with no marker, just watching how it removed the gunk from the rusted blade edges) to match the existing angles, then re-ground to match. These are a set of knife-edge shears, obviously. I've been tempted to get an angle-graduated recticule for my inspection scope that might give me an idea, anyway...
