Sorry, I read Jensen's post and it made me chuckle - I couldn't resist..

(Edit - now that I'm much older than when this movie came out, is it just me or is Ferris a smarmy little S**t? :rolleyes:)
 
Thanks. :) Went from 400 to 2000 grit then stropped on leather loaded with cheap chromium (II) oxide compound.
 
^ sweet. Now you got me wanting a mirror edge. I'm going to put one on my slicer today. :) nice pics by the way!
 
Ok fellas...I'd like to know. Is the mirror worth the effort? I never have polished an XM's cutting edge (in any steel) to a mirror and find they take and hold an edge nicely. Benefits of the beautiful mirrored edge?
 
The actual mirror edge- purely an aesthetic.
The process of "mirroring" the edge - Hobby.
IMO
 
^ I agree. I've done it many times myself. No benefit other than aesthetics. I actually prefer a "toothy" edge on my hinderers.
 
I find that mirror cuts smoother and cleaner compared to a low grit finish, then again that's my personal preference. Low grit for aggressive slicing, polished for push cutting.
 
No real EDC purpose... But if you want to shave your face then it has an advantage :D
 
Late to a promise of a pic. Here is a WEPS tune up to my WE Wharnie which will slice anything with ease.

BTW: Lower holes, Flat attitude blade horizontal on plane and 22* per/side

 
I have experienced very few sharper edges than this one. I would put it in the top three (3) ever.
