Wire Edge Prevention

[SteveG]

"What I’ve been doing to ensure the burr is really removed is to place the blade on a brass plate, edge straight down (i.e., blade perpendicular to the plate), and rolling the blade from heel-to-toe applying moderate pressure (maybe a pound or two) - no slicing motion, just a rocking motion."

Hmm…  That’s a very unique method to test for the existence of burr.  What before/after sharpness readings do you typically see when performing that test?

When all goes well, they’re the same.  Today I did an LC200N blade; didn’t get great results, but it was 120 before/121 after, so pretty sure there’s no burr.
