Why the 40° edge will not score as well as the 20°
#2
Holy smokes, we didn't know that the other guy's stuff was that costly! Thank you for the post KG!

EOU's and BESS's measurement philosophy is based on calculating how much force it takes to cut something. It's the same philosophy employed  millions of times each day, worldwide, by sharpened edge users. When you have to get up on the balls of your feet in order to apply enough force to push the knife edge through what you used to cut easily - even the cutlery neophyte knows that the edge is dull and needs to be sharpened. We simply borrow from that well established precedent with our edge testers and BESS test media.

Please don't forget about the value of BESS test media and the BESS scale here though. When an instrumentation user tells the Exchange that an edge measured 90 - we understand immediately just how sharp that edge is. This ability to communicate sharpness levels accurately is of huge benefit to sharpeners everywhere.

We've  shipped three times as many edge testers in the first six months of  2019 as we did in the same period of 2018. If we can maintain that growth into the future - most knife sharpeners will, one day, be talking BESS numbers and all for just, as KG reports with his usual precision; 179.00 - 259.00 dollars.
