Ditto what Mr. Bud said. It was kind of funny because this thread made me realize that I had not even considered polished edges as it had been so long since I produced one.
I guess I mostly sharpen kitchen and general purpose knives and always do a toothy edge without even thinking. Chisels, cheavers and other push cutting tools need a polished edge but for just about everything else I prefer toothy.
It's just matter of personal preference. Some folks like polished, others like me think toothy works best.
Also I'm lazy. Polished requires more work and time than toothy.
