Anyone notice a difference in "sharpness"...
Is this a known thing? I haven't encountered it in anything I've read
to this point.
When the last surface honed is the trailing surface of the blade, for
example, the plane blade back on a bevel-up low-angle plane, and the
bevel on a conventional smoothing plane blade, acts noticeably sharper.
I'm using a 8000x stone as the final grit. Could be a final
"burnishment" of the edge, resulting in a slight upturn?
