    That was on the tormek machine, and was honed differently from the ones in chapter 4 that were honed on flat hones and flat strops. These blades were also honed at a 40 degree angle while the ones in chapter 4 were honed at 48 degrees, all of which makes it difficult to directly compare the numbers between the two chapters.

    I never said that you can't notice improved sharpness past 4k. You can. The question is what causes this - is it because of the reduced edge width, or something else?
