Well you've heard of location, location, location in the real estate biz and we think that it is burr, burr, burr in the knife sharpening biz. Thank you to KG and Steve for taking such an in-depth look at the subject. We know that Grepper has spent a considerable amount of time studying this problem as well. No other sharpening flaw creates greater deviation in BESS scores than residual burr. The silver lining here is that this great deviation makes it easy and obvious for your edge tester to detect its presence. Now that we've detected it though, the question of proper removal remains.
We've learned so much about burr in the past year and it is a formidable foe. Removing all the burr while preserving the edge does not seem to be a simple, one size fits all, process to date. Work, like yours, may get us there one day so "hats off" for your efforts.
