What Makes an Edge Ahead
To give a blade the most durable razor edge, I start by using a slack belt grinder with high belt tension. This creates an edge bevel that is very slightly convex. Then the bevel is mirror polished to razor sharpness with a special stropping technique which increases the convex bevel minutely. The convex edge is stronger than other edge geometry because more material is left. This allows the edge to be more durable and resistant to chipping and deflection.
