Angle vs Result

[mengwong]

Yeah, it’s totally fine. But KKF rules require I make an Unnecessary Equipment Recommendation:

If you're just looking for permission, go for it! The Kasfly is deluxe.

LOL! I love buying tools and gadgets! I support your adherence to the KKF rules!

Tip gouging while sharpening is rough on the stone. You can maintain freehand angle integrity trailing stroke when at the tip you drag the tip across the stone without gouging. Some like thin tips I'm in that camp, so behind the edge thin geometry. Burr removal is a light touch.

Personal pride. This is the path for just really seeing what you can accomplish. This is striving for hair-whittling, atom-splitting edges and obsessing over every detail.

Next level after that is controlled testing, graphing the data and sharing or keeping for internal QC.

I'm guessing he is the guy from the knife grinders australia youtube channel.

That is an interesting thought, the thickness of the oxide layer forming in stainless effectively thickening an apex to make it not appear to have as fine of an edge radius.

I wouldn't really personally stand by any of that stuff 100% until some electron microscopy could verify what is actually happening there.

Otherwise its just guessing. And sometimes things that happen on that small of a scale don't do what we might expect.

And before you know it you're buying a goniometer!

Yeah, i need to get it.

Before i do i still need to finish going through the 4th volume of tool steels, just hard to find time to read right now.

I've seen that book mentioned quite a bit though.
