Thread: Have you ever seen something like this on 100x mag

It is a stereomicroscope--a Zeiss Stemi SV8. Its advantage as a stereomicroscope is that I can quickly focus by moving the blade up and down to focus and can rotate the blade to change the light reflection. It makes for a jerky video, but allows me very quick in and out observation while honing.

All this to say there is a chip in the edge. Hone the damn thing again.

And see what mistakes you made...

In fact the chip could have come about thru your handling & not the factory.
Laying an open razor down on a hard surface, closing blade on the scales or bumping a fingernail are all likely.

Lmao, I was just wondering if anyone had seen a chip like this before... It looks like the steel is folded and it's something I've never seen before...
