I'm a Bladeforum member. When my knife is as sharp as a surgeons scalpel ....

How would you finish this sentence? :) :)
 
...I need to keep sharpening because scalpels really aren't as sharp as people think. Plus, they have awful edge retention :eek:

This is the response I figured I'd get here. :) :thumbup:

My wife is an OR nurse & I asked her about scalpels. She told one of the surgeons that since I got an Edge Pro, her kitchen knives were sharper than his scalpels. Of course we had to prove it, so I sent one of my EDC knives with her to work. He sent back his pocket knife for me to sharpen & asked my wife about his kitchen knives. :) I think he also realized the poor quality of blade he worked with.

My wife also brought home a few new-in-the-wrapper blades & it's disappointing the poor quality of the blades that surgeons have to work with. I doubt that any of us here would buy a knife with a low quality blade that they are cutting up our insides with. I realize it's a cheap single use blade, but it's a really important single use when they are using it on me.

Thanks for reading my rant. Rant off,
Allen

Learning to sharpen my own knives kind of burst a lot of bubbles for me. I used to think the best a knife could get was "factory sharp", now almost every blade I see disappoints me.
