It seems there is some agreement that single bevel (sb) edges are easier to get sharper than double bevel (db) blades, and I noticed that ~100 gf reading for sb edges mentioned a number of times. From what I've seen, most of the time folks are not getting db edges that sharp, so I was curious if there is some sort of common sharpness level folks are seeing in db edges.
I kind of get the idea that, for whatever reason, ~100 is pretty easy to get with sb edges, but double bevel edges are apt to vary wildly in sharpness and be less sharp. That's why I asked the question in the OP. I was curious if there was some commonly seen decrease in sharpness between db and sb edges, or if db edges are just all over the place as far as sharpness goes.
Maybe when it comes to db edges with all of the variables involved, the question really does not make much sense. I really have no idea, so I asked the question.
