Julian, being able to put a fine edge on a knife that can cut a supermarket receipt or even a single layer of paper napkin clearly is indeed a skill that takes a while to learn, but in the world of kitchen knives, this does not have that much meaning, because an edge that works well in the kitchen is often too coarse for such a test.
Try this one. I call it the circle test. Changing directions doesn't work well if you have burr remnants. You can also try starting to slice some paper with a pull cut and then switch to a push cut mid stroke. Like you are sawing kind of. The change in direction is tough if your edge isn't straight and true.
I feel like this contest misses out on the zen of sharpening, too. Aren’t we all supposed to just try to improve our current edges, rather than compete against each other?
Cool art project!
So you have sharp knives huh? Let's see how many of you can replicate my cutting test below, using a supermarket receipt. Videos or it didn't happen
I'm not really trying to compete.
If you have a specific question for an user, can you send them a message rather than clogging my thread? It's common sense.@stringer thank you. Yeah, I can cut copy paper, but never paper towel, not with any knives. Does it mean I don't have enough bite? Or the burr is not removed?

The knife is made of paper too.Try a crispy carrot, apple or why not an onion. Or are we having paper for dinner?

I’ve been fixated by this recent video.

There is only one paper cutting test video worth watching:
He's a user...enjoy:Lol!!! BTW, who is “Salty”? Is he a cook or collector?

To cut kitchen towel no stones needed, more senseless fun is sharpen to push cut toilett tissue
But that sharpener has whittled his chef knife down to a petty knife!!
