Depends what you are push cutting.Thank you for those. I don't fully understand everything said in all of those though. Which burr removal method was found to be best? Also how can an edge push cut but not shave or can shave and not push cut? Aren't those the top 2 tests for having a good edge?
As far as deburring methods. If done well. The cleanest apex with be very light edge trailing strokes at the same angle as sharpening.
Edge leading is more effective at removing the burr, but leads to microchipping in the apex.
Stropping after removing the burr on the stone is good for getting a very clean apex provided you don't do it wrong. But needs most of the burr removal work done before moving to the strop.
