looking under the scope....again
I'm just verifying something I see under the microscope. I've been poking away at a Clauss for a few weeks getting really close, but not quite there. Tonight I spent about an hour with a Chinese 12k honing, testing, honing, testing.... I've got it cropping hair off my arm, above the skin. Looking very promising.
Under the scope, I see the scratches really fading away. I'm also starting to see horizontal lines. They dont' really look like scratches, more like the color of the steel itself. Sort of like when you drive through the mountains and you see the layers of sedimentation in the rock layers where they cut through the mountains for the road.
When I compare this to other blades that can shave, but are not seriously ready, I can see the layers like this on some of them. Anybody else see this and use it as an indicator of any type?
