Howdy .
Thanks for the info. , it would be cool to see a picture of a very sharp knife under a microscope then pictures in the same exact position throughout the skinning process .
A youtuber kyle noseworthy a canadian i believe showed some sharpening and spoke of what's happening to the leading edge of the cutting surface . Made perfect sense .
Myself I never stropped until a few years ago - i thought the entire ''edge'' was just gone and it might have been . I've became much more aware of how to use a knife - roughhousing the edge anywhere anyany way ruins the edge immediately . Which leads to more roughhousing then you need a lot of sharpening to get another edge on the butterknife .
Thanks for the answer and yes on the oxidation on edges - my older broadheads use to get dull until i used a smidge of vaseline on them .
I'm going to search blade edges under a microscope pictures .
