Thread: How is a wedge supposed to feel?

I recently bought an absolutely massive 15/16 W&B meat chopper wedge. An intimidating blade in every way; I've always wanted one. I guess it's not a true wedge since it only makes contact at the edge & the spine, but it's only very slightly ground.

As expected, sharpening it is a bugger. 100 laps on 1K sandpaper hardly seems to even make a dent. (Interestingly, it gave me a pretty good shave when I first got it, even though it was not sharp & I could see a small depression in the edge).

Anyway, my question is: when I'm done, is a heavy wedge supposed to feel just as thin at the cutting edge as my full hollows? Right now, on the TPT, it kind of feels like an axe, whereas the full hollows feel almost as thin & grabby as DE blades.

TIA,
