Same plane blade edge from yesterday, after going over about twenty pieces of sandpaper varying in grit from 60 to 2500. Got the gouges out with the 60, then chased the sanding marks out with successively finer papers upward.

If I'd had a flatter surface handy than a chunk of laminated particle board, the bevel would be a mirror: I was being whimsical, going much past 800 like this. A few streaks, given the rustic setup, will do.

Yes, it's sharp enough to shave with. n.n

@Momentrabbit Beautiful. ♥️ I love seeing quality work like that. ^^

Stuff like that is why I have a set of Japanese sharpening stones going from 600 to 8,000 grit. ^.=.^

@Momentrabbit Sharp enough to shave with?

From you, I would have expected something much more *lasery*. ^_^

@porsupah Well, not to make light of your cutting concerns, but... I dare not use the laser to sharpen tools at work. While a sandpaper-sharp blade is sharp enough to shave with, the laser *itself* is sharp enough to split a hare - and that's an 'I' hazard. XD
