HRC54 = 152 BESS, worsening by 43
HRC62 = 111 BESS, worsening by 16
That is interesting Mr. KG. A difference of 27. I wonder if this holds true over multiple tests with different knives and steel types. Not sure I'd notice the difference when slicing my breakfast kohlrabi the next day, but nonetheless a curiosity.
It's interesting to see folks on knife forums fussing about a couple of gram difference in sharpness along the edge of their knives, and now we can actually present carefully controlled studies like yours showing that just letting a blade sit overnight can result in a 43g reduction in sharpness. I have little doubt this is not commonly known and will come as a surprise to many sharpeners.
Thanks for sharing!
