First toothy edge

[SHARPCO]

Mr. Sharpco, I think you have progressed in your sharpening to the point that some of these advanced questions you ask are difficult for other folks to definitively answer.  No disrespect intended to anyone, but when you get into very detailed questions like if poly diamond or AO will make a better slicing edge you are more likely to get opinions rather than experimental data that you can analyze and act upon.  There are just so many variables involved in your question it’s very difficult to provide a yes/no, black/white, do this or that answer to.  

Yours are good questions and honestly I don’t know the answers.  That’s why I’m hoping you will experiment and post your results.   Your experimental data will aid all of us all by adding to the general body of information available to the sharpening world.  No doubt somebody else will have the same questions and may find your results helpful.

I completely understand that experimenting, documenting and sharing the information is a time consuming and often thankless task.  Been there, done that.  For me at least, actually doing it and learning from experimenting is well worth the effort.  IMHO, there is a big difference between actually doing, seeing and proving compared to simply acting on the opinion of others.

Anyone who even asks the difference of how poly diamond compared to AO effects the edge is obviously no beginner.  At this point I bet you are more knowledgeable than you may give yourself credit for!

grepper. 

I absolutely agree with you. 

I have sharpeners, edge sharpeness tester, microscope, edge protractor, and hands to use knives, so I have no reason not to do it. 

Thank you again.
