Re: "Scope the Edge" project
Count me in Sal if you choose to do so! I think I could be a great help to this project!

Re: "Scope the Edge" project
I think it's an awesome idea Sal! Another great community-engagement activity.
I don't have a broad enough selection of diamonds to cover the breadth but would really enjoy seeing what comes from the information.

Great idea, sadly I have little to offer. I will be following closely, however.

I'm in!
Re: "Scope the Edge" project
Fascinating, I will also follow this thread and contribute if possible.
I have Nikon microscope, USB digital microscope and DSLR cameras for photos if desired.

Re: "Scope the Edge" project
This should be a very worthwhile addition to the Mule project, and a great learning opportunity.
Following with interest …

Re: "Scope the Edge" project
I am interested.
I have full access to multiple labs. Corrosion testing is a possibility, as is advanced (confocal, SEM) microscopy. I should have x-ray diffraction soon for elemental analysis on the SEM. This could be used to identify composition of various carbides in microstructure, and how the edge is affected by carbide inclusions.
Cheers,

Re: "Scope the Edge" project
As I have been sharpening professionally for 46 years (over 100K+ knives and 10K+ scissors/shears) and 54 years in total, ‘Chasing the Ghost’ seems like the perfect continuation of the Mule project. I’m all in.

Re: "Scope the Edge" project
Sounds like an interesting endeavor. My own potential contributions might be limited, as I'm loath to change the angles from what I like, and my "testing" is less scientific and more real-life. But questions about coarseness and technique are always on my mind.sal wrote: ↑Sun Jan 23, 2022 11:45 pm
We know the "Edge is a Ghost" so these "Ghost hunters" would take on a project that we decide on the forum; "How much force does it take to......? What angle works best for....? What steels respond to a polished edge?, or a Vivi edge? etc. I think it would be fun to develop the "knowledge" we want to learn.
The subject says "scope." I'm all about that. My "good" magnifier is a cheap USB contraption that sits on my desk. But it can tell a lot about what's going on at the edge.
Re: "Scope the Edge" project
This is a very fascinating idea that would certainly increase the real-world data many of us are looking for.

Re: "Scope the Edge" project
Same here! Lol! Great and cool idea for sure though! One of these days (when I am a retired empty nester) I will dedicate a large portion of my remaining days to chasing the ghost and hair whittling.
CRU-CARTA THE SEKI MODELS! AND BRING US THE DODO-FLY!
Re: "Scope the Edge" project
Sounds interesting! I'll try to participate where/when I can. Maybe it'll help me to blow the dust off my Hapstone sharpener. I'm embarrassed to admit that I haven't reprofiled anything in a long time. Too many other things have my attention at the moment but I've wanted to change that
Of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most!
Re: "Scope the Edge" project
This sounds like a great idea!
I have nothing of value to contribute to it, as this stuff goes way over my head. But I'll be watching this thread!

Re: "Scope the Edge" project
I would put myself on the nube level, but will be happy to contribute in what way I can. This is a fun hobby.

This could be interesting. I know many here have guided systems, I do not. I use the sharpmaker, benchstones, strops and a mouse pad backed with sandpaper. Depends on the knife. Maybe this will motivate me to get a system with more precise angle control.

Re: "Scope the Edge" project
I'd be glad to contribute/participate
Re: "Scope the Edge" project
I’m fairly slack and view sharpening knives like mowing lawns or washing vehicles.
I usually just grab another knife if the one I want to use is blunt but if nothing else I’ll certainly follow with interest.

Re: "Scope the Edge" project
I was really hoping you would “Bloke” this thread. In the states scope is a mouthwash…
