Edge Retention/Rolling Test Stand

[grepper]

Mr. Rick Kr uttered, "I have now read the entire thread and have learned a LOT.  Just as I was starting to get a clue about sharpening to finer levels of sharpness...   ...the world may be shifting on its axis.   I anxiously await results and further discussions."
 
Nothing like a settling down for a good read, eh? 
 
I have to agree.  While results at this point are preliminary and inclusive, they seem to be indicating some reconsideration of the durability of really sharp edges and how the various types of steel effect same may be in order.  But again, results at this point are preliminary and inclusive.
