Hi,

This may have been covered before, but I'm curious as to why the X-Pattern does not produce a frowning edge?

With the X-Pattern, isn't the center of the blade in contact with the stone (on average) for longer than either the heel or tip? Therefore shouldn't more of the metal from the center of the blade be worn away than from either the tip or heel?

What have I forgotten to account for here?

Cheers, Knorm
