A mirror edge doesn't necessarily mean sharp.
It is the quality of the apex that defines "sharp" - not how shiny your bevels are.

Ok, 3 threads about this, is rather redundant.
For the third time, a mirror edge doesn't necessarily mean sharp.

I don't see any blood on that. 'Sharp' is when you cut yourself and don't notice until you see blood.

Sharp is when no one will pick it up, after what happened to the last owner.

can't comment on the sharpness of the edge.
But I will say...
Man... that looks sharp!

A perfect 19°
Not sure why three. I was trying to post a video where the knife was slicing through phone book paper like melted butter.

I stopped refining my edges to anything past 600 grit a long time ago.
Beyond 600-1000 grit, they don't stay that way for long, and it made me hesitant to use my knives for anything beyond cutting an errant thread for fear of scratching my mirror finish.
Yeah, it's cool to polish your edges like that, but the novelty and practicality soon wears off on any knife that is not a safe queen.

Lol, I get it. The Kazak system is new to me and I'm just having some fun, but I must say there are those I know who have seen this type of edge and they all want one...
