I got one of those edge-on-up bess sharpness testers to help practice sharpening with. My most carried and used lately knife utx-85 gen 3 scored a 250, not surprising since i cut with it a bunch, my less used zt-0556 scored 151, rr station express a 147. Averages of a few tests of course. I used the test clips also so i know the scores are a bit lower than they should be

This is a pretty cool tool, i am DONE with paper and arm hair tests forever now. Those gave me such wildly inconsistent results at times.
