Polished edge vs mirror polished edge?

Mitchell Knives said:
Extremely fine edges are not conducive to cutting a large variety of materials efficiently.

In many cases, they simply slide across material rather than cut it.

Even on my full mirror polished blades, I always go back with a fine ceramic stone to give the edge a very fine "micro serrated" edge.

Exactly. :thumbup:

If the edge is too refined it just won't cut harder more abrasive materials, it will just slide right across it and not bite.

People have to learn to adjust the edge refinement to what they usually cut and how they usually cut things.
