Emerson chisel grind sharpness

[The Fort]

Let me start off by saying that I love my Emerson knives! I feel that I am pretty good (but always willing to learn) at putting an edge on my knives. I typically sharpen my Emersons in the fashion recommended on the Emerson website, stone in one hand and knife in the other. When I'm finished, they are up for any task that I could expect a knife to handle. They will slice receipt paper and take a few hairs off my arm. Here's my question, does the obtuse angle on the chisel grind keep it from getting as razor sharp as some of my thinner flat ground or hollow ground blades? It only make sense to me that a 30 degree chisel edge could never be as sharp as a razor thin edge of a lesser degree. I hope this doesn't sound stupid, I'm just looking for a sound answer or explanation. Thanks in advance for any info.

Yes.
A zero edge would be a razor.

Yes. Another reason I like Emersons.

Your razor blades are chisel ground. Are they sharp enough? So are surgeon's scalpels. After that, it's all in the steel.
