Thanked: 1Thumb nail test
Hi guys,
I just read the article on the sharpness tests one more time
and I'd like to share my personal perspective of the TNT.
It is the most indicative test for me. I can tell
if the edge is dull, coarse, keen and overhoned. When
test gives me the "keen edge" feel the edge is very close to
shave ready (only touch up required).
I do understand that this test is bad for the edge
so I give a few very light strokes more on the 4k right after
I get the feeling of a keen edge on my thumb nail.
Needless to say that my final test is shaving.
