Mr. Ken eloquently uttered, "I often find that the best time to read bessex posts is in the early morning quiet hours when only I and my coffee are stirring. I like the mixture of different observations. The predawn quiet gives them the opportunity to sink in which they deserve."
I love the peaceful mental image your writing invokes.
Mr. Edgepal, I think your idea of isolating the blade from oxygen by placing it in an inert gas is similar to Mr. KG's edge sealing test that he referenced a couple of posts back in this thread. He stated:
Initial Sharpness (BESS) - EDGE SEALING - Sharpness in 24 hours (BESS)
95 - none - 97
103 - Lanox MX4 spray - 99
93 - Tuf-Glide - 98
Lanox MX4 is an Australian lanonlin-based heavy duty anti-corrosion lubricant, made by INOX, they have a sales branch in the USA.
I wonder why these blades did not dull more due to relaxation after the stress of sharpening?
Mr. Jan. Thanks for the explanation. That makes sense to me. Your thoughts and observations are always helpful and really appreciated! Many times you come up with points of view I had not considered and it's always enlightening.
