Actually, it wasn't exactly TP per se. It was Scotties brand 2 ply Kleenex pulled apart so that it's super thin. I also cut the kleenex into more manageable sections.
Take a bow Scottie (notice you never see Ankerson using any TP that supports the breast cancer foundation! Actually, it was on sale.)
Pre-cut back story dramatic build up.... When I got my BK2 on Tuesday it's edge was not what I'd call ideal. It was very thick and not sharp at all. In fact, the edge was about the thickness and sharpness of a store bought axe. Great, if yer gonna go outside and hack into a car chassis. But those days are over for me....
More build up.... Now, before I show the photos, keep in mind this is not Ankerson level sharpness. But for a blade I left thicker then I normally sharpen at, I think it's pretty decent. I set the angle on the Edge Pro in between 24º an 21º marks. Yeah, I do things..... differently sometimes.
See how thin the kleenex was (close your eyes if 5 letter words offend you):
The ripping you see half way down was me changing the angle of the BK2 to flow with the Kleenex as it was trying to curl away from the blade. But the cut was entirely done by push cut alone. The very last part ripped when I forced the knife through. *Ankerson shakes his head in disapproval*, no doubt.
Crap forgot to put a photo of the star. Also, I did a rough sharpening job since I plan to abuse it a bit. I spent barely a minute polishing it with the 2000 grit strip.
