The Victorinox has once again enjoyed a relaxing (thanks for the clarification Mr. Jan) 24 hours in the drawer overnight. Just for grins I’ll take another set of measurements later today.
It should also be noted that by design I create very toothy edges and there will be some variation in sharpness readings simply because the edge is so uneven and the test media is of very small diameter. Overall however I think that four readings along the edge provide an acceptable understanding of what is happening at the edge.
Thanks for the additional info Mr. KG. You answered some questions I had before I asked.
Considering how much a few chops of a carrot will dull an edge, from a practical point of view the overnight degradation of sharpness does not matter much. It's interesting nonetheless.
I have another solution to the problem. I'm simply going to set the Space-time Continuum (TPC) dial (Time Passage Control) on my knife storage drawer to the "inhibit" position.
