When sharpening a knife how do you guys guage its sharpness. I have sharpened knives and cut strips of paper, shaved some hairs off arm etc then felt when I used it properly, this could be sharper.
If you run your finger at right angles to the blade then you get a feel for the sharpness but this is still not a definative test as I did it with a brand new scalpel today and it didnt have that razor sharp feel to it and they are about as sharp as anything. Whats the definative test?
