CATRA Edge Testing Results

Great thread, guys from Buck.

As an engineer, I appreciate the objectivity rendered by the Catra and appreciate that you shared your work/results freely here and on your web page.

And I learned something for sure... there is more to edge angle for abrasive/slice cutting tests than I suspected. Very interesting.

More to the point, I figured a 30 degree edge angle would start out sharper for sure, but that the 30 degree would be more delicate and would not retain sharpness longer than a 40 degree angle. Your Catra results says that is not the case for abrasive/slicing tests.

It's here! It's here! Man, this one is almost too beautiful to use, too. (Almost).

Peace, Al

Well. I posted pictures of THAT one back in mid May, in the Pete's Pics thread, look for the green camo. Just yesterday received Oak, Damascus, NS, after an excruciating 7 week wait, to the day. A picture of that one in the thread, also. Gotta update the family portrait!

Thanks Al. I'm a little behind on my reading on Bladeforums.

CJ and/or Pete,

This was a very informative thread, but the graphs are now gone and the link to the Buck web page doesn't work anymore.

Could one of you guys re-upload the graphs or provide a working link to the graphs on your (I think revamped) web site? Would be much appreciated.... thanks.
