Well that's very interesting stuff KG and much in-line with what we've seen and expected. Seems to us that any resultant decline in sharpness after tens or hundreds of cycles might be due to a gradual and miniscule chipping away at the apex by the steel roller. Perhaps even turning the apex into just dust. The kind of tiny and gradual degradation that can't be seen even by one of our optical microscopes unless a large chip get's broken out. We've developed enough breathing space here to get Mark's SET unit out to him this week so perhaps he can test his Kyocera knife and see how it performs next to the cheap ceramic knives that both of us have tested.
To date we have edges that roll but don't chip and edges that don't roll but chip. Perhaps edges that don't roll or chip are next. In that vein, we had a conversation with Peter's Heat Treating today. Seems as if they have been delayed by the Blade Show but are back on track now. Our test pieces should be on the way back to us tomorrow.
