Ive been searching the forum for 24hrs now without finding a possible explanation for my conundrum.
This is probably because I cant figure out what to search for.
Any veteran who recognises this and can point me to an old thread is velcome. :)
Ive honed up an old Pradat Brun via bevel setting on a Naniwa 1k followed by polishing on Naniwa 5 and 8k.
Similar progression on a new Gold Dollar gave good results.
Problem:
The top third of the edge is not sharp. The middle and heel is good, but not the toe.
Under a radioshack microscope the edge gets a thin white line, like a halo running parallell to the edge along the not sharp toe.
The same 'phenomenon' is not present along the sharp parts and nowhere on the gold dollar.
Does anyone recognize what this is? Have an idea? A theory? or a link to one of several older threads where this is discussed in depth? :)
(Im a bit miffed actually because searching usually gives plenty of results whenever Ive had problems/questions or just been looking for info but no luck this time.)
Thanx for reading.
