Can a Knife be sharper than a razor? We try to answer that question today in our video where we measure the sharpness of a razor and than try to beat it by sharpening a traditional Japanese kitchen knife made from white paper steel. Find out if we succeed!

It makes perfect sense it can get that low as Shirogami is a pure carbon steel with no alloys, it doesn't hold an edge for the longest time, but it's easy to sharpen and takes a mean edge (as shown in the video) Now we need to see a Yanagiba (single bevel) tested, also in Shirogami (1 or 2) of course

I never really considered how sharp is too sharp for an outdoor knife or even a kitchen knife. I am not very experienced at sharpening. My kitchen knife set is a set of Wusthof Classic Ikons. I rarely sharpen them but when I do, I use a diamond wheel. Thanks for helping to clear this up.

@hondolane3125 Жыл бұрын

For most uses, a blade edge can't be too polished, but it can have too narrow of an angle, which makes the edge fragile whether it is polished sharp or not. I put an edge on an Opinel #8 that would "treetop" - which means it would cut the hair on my arm moving through the hair and not touching my skin at all. It would shave a hair down it's length, just like a feather stick. But after I used it for just a few minor tasks, it was no better than usual - no damage like this, just no longer hair-splitting sharp. Use the right edge for the job. Anyone else disappointed that they did not shave with the knife? I mean, that's what that edge would be good for, just like the razor.

I have to say that is sharper than I have been able to get one of my knives you did a fabulous job sharpening it! The lowest I have been able to get a knife was a 34 or a 44 with a knife in m42 HSS with an HRC of 67. You have now made it my goal to make that knife below a 30. Also, with hard knives that sharp and low of an angle they do become chippy.

Pretty awesome work guys! I’m actually surprised the really hard plain carbon steel didn’t chip out sooner actually. Razor blades like the one you tested hold up because they have alloys in them that increase toughness. They don’t have much wear resistance though because they are disposable. But they are hard tough and crack resistant. Perfect for cutting hair.

@@TheBadger74 Usually I strop the carbone to around 100-120 (17-20'ish angle). That has never been a problem. I guess if you really wanted to push it, the angle might have to be more acute which could turn to a brittle edge. Also depends on usage. My opinels are mainly for food preparation, so the toughest battle they face might be the occasional raw potato.

@daw162 Жыл бұрын

It's possible to sharpen any carbon steel low/mid 60s to match a razor. That's what straight razors actually are. when you do sharpness tests, you have to confirm that the blades are holding the edge - it's not so much sharpness as it is resisting deformation, too. For straight razors, we typically sharpen them with anything that will leave a defect free edge and then use linen and leather to condition the very tip so that the edge holds up despite the 16-18 degree bevel. Not that everyone does that - some people have lost the whole concept and go after a straight razor over and over with oxides, etc, and complain about the edge transience. Too, cutting as a razor isn't just about being as sharp as possible, it's about being between the sharpness of easily shaving hair, but not cutting the skin that's propped up on the back of a pore.

@daw162 Жыл бұрын

to match the plated finish look on a good razor blade (double edge), you'll need fine abrasives and no pressure deflecting an edge. If you're cutting a hair or wire in tension, it's not a representation of sharpening. The edge of a razor at 18 degrees is still going to cut a hair not in tension more easily simply because it doesn't wedge as much as a thicker edge.

Interesting you used the Derby Extras as a razor benchmark as their considered to be a mild blade. I use them myself shaving in a Merkur Futur Setting 4. They last quite a lot longer than sharper blades before they dull severely. I like them over sharper blades because they test how well I've done my preparation with the hot towel and cream. They better the prep the less the resistance cutting hair therefore longer lasting smooth close shave ☺️
