Hi, Some poor photos but they should point out the teeth were not purely by accident and pose the question I had earlier WHY were they so laboriously
done? Spiro, I have an old restaurant steak knife sharpeners so, I can see what your thinking, but they are at least evenly spaced a few remaining spots are probably 25-30 teeth per inch and new by they trend to far courser. All the deep cuts show the same patina as the blade had before cleaning. Given the various sizes they likely were not done with a bastard file, likely done one cut at a time. Thanks for your input hope additional shots will cause more debate. Steve
