I've been wondering for a long time when we were going to start talking about edge retention, when I came upon the closed post by Mr Mike Brubacher at the top of this index page. It's definitely worth a re-read. There was/is/should be an intended mission here that we are totally overlooking.
I know it's fun to see low numbers on a fresh edge, but that really isn't telling much of the story. It's just the fresh dawn of the edge, or even slightly before that. Like you're still kinda in the dark. You don't know how much you can cut.
Edge retention really is of much greater significance than initial sharpness, correct?
