Thread: Some edge pics @200x

Next a very obvious incomplete bevel. Notice how the heel area (left screen) is worse.
Often this is caused by interfence from the stabiliser as it lifts the heel.
To the right , the bevel is still incomplete.

Something like this?

Just something I stumbled across when I was looking for the 60x loupe that gets suggested. Fun fact: the local Hobby Lobby maxes out @16x for $15 .

Yes. Mine is the Veho 20-200x. I have tried several of these cheap ones up to 400 x & they were all rubbish with poor optics, difficult to focus & gave fuzzy pics

Some heavy handed stropping damage on a Dovo that was shave ready.

Finally a couple of shave ready Pumas. I have posted these before & one edge looks like it should shave rougher than the other but it does not . They were identically comfortable & this is why the microscope is only good for relative diagnosis.
The shave test will always have the final say.

great info
thanks for sharing it is very informative

Very informative pics.....I'm afraid if I had a Veho I would wear a doggy path in the rug from the computer to the kitchen (honing station) with a beard sitting in my lap. Thank-you for posting them.

There is no need. I do all my honing with 8-10x loupes for mag views. The scope is solely for others to see pics.

Great images, thanks for posting

Thank you for the great analysis of blade problems

Thanks for posting those images. I found them and the explanations very useful.
