Sharpco,
I would say that I accidentally did essential that. My PT-50 tester is the original model. The Sharp Check feature must be turned on manually. I did not remember that for quite a while. When I did a sharpness, I had to quickly try to guess the highest reading before the scale read zero. This made for very inconsistent wild guess measurements.
I was ready to return to using my KN-100. Fortunately Mike pointed out my error. I have been a happy camper since then.
Using a cheap postal scale instead of an Edge on Up tester is like trying to accurately torque engine bolts using an ordinary wrench instead of using a torque wrench.
