It is a traditional stroke, only angled. I think your description is accurate. I would prefer not to claim that I am opposing the "teeth" or striations, although I have noted that that might be a factor. For now I am only accepting the quality of he resultant edges.

I think I have already gone a little out on a limb trying to explain why I think the edges are better.

I'm betting if others agree they'd be smarter than me in figuring it out.
