What does knife look like...

Check your local library, or whip out your visa card and go to www.leevalley.com and buy Leonard Lee's sharpening book. He took chisels sharpened on verious stones, and the stones themselves, to a place to get electron microscope pictures taken. Ever really see an edge? Want to see what stropping can do to an edge? Do you know what vitrified bonds look like? I DO! :)
 
I knew I saw them somewhere it took a while of searching but here are two pics, I got from Steves Knife Sharpening- Knife Sharpening Made Easy. The pictures are taken from an article wriiten by John Juranich of Razor Edge Systems.

Those are excellent pictures, I have magnifier (10X or 12X i believe) which is extremely useful for observing edge after sharpening.
