That's a cute and fun video that demonstrates how easy post production video editing is these days. Just because it's on the 'Net and it's a video does not make it true. Well, except for the dinosaurs in the Jurassic Park movie. After all, those are in a video so they must be real and we all hope they don't escape!
The PT50A is an extremely accurate lab instrument with a 1g display resolution, reads pressure many times/second and rounds up at 0.5g pressure. How much is 1g? Open your hand and drop a $1.00 paper bill on it. That's about 1g. Think... The video attempts to show the knife severing the test media at less than 1/2 gram, less than half the weight of a $1.00 bill. Really? To me, that makes no sense.
You are correct 3D Anvil, “0 score is mind boggling”.
In all seriousness, the poster of the original video appears to be a reputable sharpening outfit that no doubt produces some fine edges. I suspect the video is sort of an inside joke for those into sharpening. A lot like a car detailing shop showing a video of customers in sunglasses looking at a car they polished saying that sunglasses were required to prevent blindness as the car was so shiny!
Please don’t get me wrong. If anyone has questions about why I think a 0g sharpness reading on a PT50A makes no sense, just post. I’ll be happy to go into it.
I watched the original video, but now when I click the link it wants an Instagram or Facebook login. I don't have and don't want either, so I can no longer check out the video.
