Thread: How sharp is sharp?

If there was a clear and ready answer to how much polishing a perfect bevel could support then we'd all have a "go to" stone/paste that would maximize each edge with a perfect bevel*.

But each blade is its own case (because alloys and heat treatments are rarely exactly the same). So the answer can never be clear cut. And sharp and smooth aren't exactly the same thing.

*There may be some who prefer a convex bevel over a geometrically flat one...

Best of honing to you. Plateaus and all.
