So like a lot of other people, I like to keep my knives SHARP. Lately I purchased a Wicked Edge, and sharpened/re-profiled most of my folders. For edge upkeep I usually do a few swipes on a strop to keep them good a sharp.
So I'm just wondering, has anyone here ever actually sharpened a knife to the point where the blade shape had actually changed dramatically? As in so much material had been worn away from many sharpenings a that you could see that the blade was noticeably narrower (than when it was new)? If so, did you over sharpen it? Or was it just through stropping and upkeep that the steel wore away? If so, how long did it take, 5 years, 10 years, 20 years?
If you still have a knife you sharpened to such an extent, could you post some pics?
