Thread: Wade and Butcher under the microscope

You photos are very good, but here are some suggestions for how to make them a little easier for us to understand:

1. Use the same magnification.
2. Try to use the same angle for the blade relative to both the objective and light source. This one can be difficult but it makes a huge difference in perception of what is going on from one photo to the next.
3. If possible, try to photograph the same section of the blade each time. This is easily done if you draw a marker line perpendicular to the edge from the spine side of the bevel toward the spine. That way it won't be removed during honing.
