First toothy edge

[SHARPCO]

Thank you all. 

I had a curiosity about the toothy edge. But my customers don't particularly like it. Most people like shiny and sharp edges.(If they try it, their thoughts may change.)

So I think shiny toothy edge will be a good solution.  Wouldn't it be possible to make a micro toothy edge using a diamond abrasive? I'll try to remove the burr with Tormek honing compound and finish with diamond emulsion by hand stropping.

I wasn't expecting it to turn out like this for you, Mr Sharpco, but in most sharpening circles this is the edge people prefer, both sharpeners and users. Sharpeners like it because it's much more efficient to completely remove the burr through progressive refinement. 

"A shiny toothy edge will be a good solution", you say. That's the most popular notion, and I don't know how to achieve it without diamonds on leather. 4µ poly is very popular. I use it on a Kally for high volume sharpening because it's gentle enough for soft stainless, but polishes edges quickly.

You say you'll "try to remove the burr with Tormek honing compound". It will always work on an 800 grit burr, it will work on soft stainless at 400 grit, and it will always fail on a 220 grit burr. A 220 grit burr is a great way to scrape all the compound off leather so you can add fresh compound.

Mark,

I'm considering using Jende nanocloth strop & PDP. I'll test it for both polished & toothy edge.
