It makes no intuitive sense to me why a chisel grind should be inherently sharper than a double bevel grind. That said, in practice, for whatever reason, it sure is easier to get a chisel grind sharper.
Grabbing at straws, I keep thinking it must have something to do with the sharpening process or burr formation/removal in relation to the flat side.
Obviously I have absolutely no clue, and even to me, my speculation feels like unsatisfying, empty random babbling. If was just me, I would simply accept my incompetence and move on, but other folks report the same findings and even similar sharpness test readings.
I'm not even sure there is there anything to this. Is there? Is there something to understand here?
