How do you describe "Scary Sharp"?
For me, scary sharp is when you can cut arm hair without touching skin, where sharp would be you could also cut hair, but you have to contact skin to do it.
The sharp edge of nothing sharpened to a point.....
I just posted this in a similiar thread in the general forum. For me, i'm stuck at "really sharp", but it goes something like this
Dull == doesnt cut an arm hair or tomato.
Sharp == can shave arm hair or cut a tomato with some downward pressure and sawing
Really Sharp == can whittle a strand of hair under tension, or fall through a tomato with just a slight draw stroke
Scary sharp == can whittle a free standing strand of hair, or falls through a tomato on its own with just the blade weight
Holy Crap Sharp == touch and bleed; no pain like getting cut by a shard of glass.
You guys are getting too scientific!
"Scary Sharp" means that it's so sharp that you're a little afraid of your own knife!
You open it more carefully.
You're afraid to drop it in your lap.
You pick up your open knife more carefully.
You do everything more carefully if you don't have health insurance.
