Testing Knife Sharpness - What's the best way to test for a razor sharp knife

How sharp is sharp? We took five of the exact same knives and sharpened them all differently. Two were sharpened on the Knife and Tool Sharpener Mk.2 and three were sharpened on the Precision adjust.

The difference in the two sharpened on the Mk.2 was the amount of time spent refining the edge on the 6000 grit micromesh belt. Knife two had more passes and lighter pressure with each pass.

Knife three was sharpened on the Precision Adjust and after sharpening on the 320 grit coarse abrasive we moved on to the ceramic hone to leave a sharp but "toothy" edge.

Knife four was sharpened through all three abrasives and knife five was sharpened the same way the only difference being it was stropped on leather after sharpening.

Results were surprising in some tests and we will let the video tell that part of the story.
