A new level of sharpness achieved!

[KnifeGrinders]

Amazing results KG! Rupert's "uncharted waters" comment is certainly appropriate from our sharpening experience and perspective. One of these times it would be interesting to examine all the factors that  contribute to these low BESS scores. Thank the Lord that we introduced the PT50 electronic series and the "C" scale. These results would represent some pretty serious negative numbers with the KN100 and the "A" scale.

Ha-ha. Appreciate your humour, Mike.
That has become possible only thanks to your testers and our computer software.

For CBN (or diamond) wheels, the crucial discovery was to hone on paper wheels at 0.1 degree less. E.g. an edge set on a CBN wheel grit #1000 at 15 degrees per side, is honed at 14.9 degrees.
To set a paper wheel with such precision would not be possible without our software.
This refines the edge not touching the very apex that is already 0.1 micron after the grit #1000 as shown by SEM.
Thanks to that, even the Grepper's beloved toothiness is preserved.

The remnants of the microburr are then removed by honing at the exact edge angle (15 degrees in our example) on a paper wheel with the finest diamonds 0.25/0.5 micron, and USB microscope shows the toothiness is all there, which is to advantage for knives.

At this step edges of all knives I've done by this method score about 50 BESS, telling me that we cleanly exposed that 0.1 micron edge that already was there, even before the paper wheels.
This is a true razor sharpness, as we know.

The final step takes them to the sharper than razors level, but I'll keep it secret for the sake of my business.
