I was perusing the 2024 Product Guide tonight, and while I'm stoked on the Bodacious design, one thing that immediately stuck out to me in the catalog was the lack of a fully-sharpened edge:

The Tenacious, by comparison, appears nearly fully-sharpened by comparison:

I know that Eric has talked about how difficult this particular process is, so I got to wondering whether one factory or another may be better at this process. We've seen an example from Golden and China, so far.
Using the Caribbean as a sample, Taichung's looking pretty darn good:

Seki's looking hit or miss here on the Lil' Temperance; the VG-10 is missing a section, the K390 looks complete:

I wondered if I should check some other models from the Golden factory. The Microjimbo looks PERFECT:

...but the Yojimbo is kinda of meh by this standard:

Finally, it struck me that these photos, all from the catalog, may have been touched up in Photoshop or similar. So friends, I ask you:
- Which model in your collection offers the most fully-sharpened edge?
- Which factory have you noticed excelling at this process?
- Have you corrected a less-than-fully-sharpened edge? How long did it take, and what was your process?
Discuss.
