00:00Alright now the sun is shining. Here we are again with the bokeh. This time it has a 18 degree edge as opposed to 21.5. It's a guided edge. It's been done to 500 grit diamond.
00:30There's a little bit of a spot there that's grabbing. So I hope the bevel isn't like a little chip or something in it.
00:45So let us see what the 18 degree edge can do at 500 grit.
01:00Here we go.
01:07Here we go.
01:12Here we go.
01:22Here we go.
01:59Now that finger has taken a bit of abuse, bring out the pain reducer.
02:29Now that finger has taken a bit of abuse, bring out the pain reducer.
02:58So we are definitely, definitely, where it's hitting the wood.
03:19We are definitely, definitely noticing some extra drag.
04:09Let's go.
04:39Let's go.
05:09Okay.
05:16I'm going to call that a path.
05:24But it would seem that we are maybe on the cusp of failure is what I would say.
05:39Let's go.
05:40Let's go.
05:41Let's file it.
05:42Let's go.
05:43Let's go.
05:44Let's go.
05:45Let's go.
05:51Let's go.
05:52Let's go.
05:58Let's go.
05:59Let's go.
06:13Let's go.
06:14Let's go.
06:15Let's go.
06:16Let's go.
06:17Let's go.
06:18Let's go.
06:19Let's go.
06:24Let's go.
06:31definitely one spot there where it's dragging its ass but even thinning out
06:44the cut a little bit doesn't seem to does not seem to have caused a failure
06:54just trying to show these I thinned it out a little bit we can see that there I thinned it out a little bit and we're still passing through the paper so it's hanging in there so that's 18 degrees for you I guess as opposed to the first test which was factory sort of it was 21.5 which means the factory edge may have been 22
07:24possibly doing it on the whetstone grinder I may have taken half a degree off so let's see how we go
07:34it's needing quite a bit of pressure to get through the rope
07:44the edge is definitely definitely dulling compared to what I started this finger is feeling
07:53oh yeah it's feeling sore it's hurting
08:00okay
08:03no geez come on
08:11still going
08:17oh there we've gone nice and thin there and it's failed
08:25thicken it up just a little bit
08:31and it passes okay so we've definitely definitely lost some edge but because it's 18 degrees
08:41it still uh it still feels alright
08:47I definitely feel dulling there but uh it definitely looks like the 18 degrees is uh giving us something to work with
09:05oh yeah there's definitely some dulling going on but it's still slicing the paper so I think it's doing pretty damn well at 18 degrees
09:2618 degrees could be the magic number for this one
09:31it could be magic
09:35that's not a horrible slice
09:54oh okay that's hanging up there
10:15oh that's hanging up there that's really alright that was it we have hit a wall thank goodness my fingers starting to hurt
10:33just give it a very quick dirty wood strop
10:52and we will see if we can uh slice some paper with a quick and dirty wood strop eh
11:01oh yeah
11:13alright so quick and dirty wood strop has given us some uh slicing power again
11:21so quick and dirty wood strop has given us some uh slicing power again
