I became very intrigued by the idea of crazy sharp edges after watching this scene from the movie “Drive”. That is what got me started with my whetstone/sharpening hobby. https://youtu.be/SS-bO_xxCbQ?si=C2edudWcsQWeBjkv

Secret of straight razor edge is self alignment during sharping.Absolute consistency is key to make sharp edge. Straight razor blade profile maintain exactly the same sharpening angle on every stroke. Most people can't do it without such crutches using stones, so it's razor blade or soild sharpening system.
>>65091164sharpening systems make flat profiles which are inherently worse at cutting vs a convex, and weaker. Hand sharpening a knife on a stone will produce superior results with even average talent.

>>65091450Yes, every high end chef, or knife enthusiast hand sharpens their knife, to maintain a convex edge which is superior.
>>65091950You know that microscopes exist in the year 2026 right?
>>65091116Knife is a weapon. Lurk moar faggot.
>>65091154Shenans.
>>65094076jesus, the video you posted doesnt even agree with you. knife sharpening systems cant make a convex edge, which matters more than being a fraction off, which the system will be too, because you arent applying equal forces because you are human.
>>65094358Why do boomer perpetuate myths that can be easily disproveed by microscope in the year 2026?>muh convex shape!Yeah I know there were no microscopes when boomers when to school but today they exist.
Just remember to wash the knife after sharpening especially if it is going to be used for anything food related.
>>65094441Iron is good for you.
>>65094385what a shit bevel.You have offered literally nothing. Just saying burr removal is important which every hand sharpener knows. while completely ignoring the much larger piece of geometry the bevel. How is it only the geometry of the burr matters, and not the bevel.
>>65091114Fourteen replies and no one has pointed out that straight razors are terrible compared to a knife due to their light, thin, and short blades and lack of a point?
>>65095911I mean that goes without saying, the only thing they have going for them is sharpness. Still the straight razor is a major facet of pulp crime stories, perfect weapon for some thug to pull out on a gumshoe PI or for some big boss to discipline an underperforming goon by removing a finger or a bit of throat
>>65095911doesnt matter razorblade autist has a pocket janny protecting him. he can post this blog.
>>65095918This. People were catching bans in the other sharpening thread. I'm glad that we have another one now, because the first one (and the three goddamned ones before that in the last week that slid) are not enough.
Give me a molecular edge with obsidian
This is another wheel sharpening guy thread huh?
