Could you draw a better circle by hand or when using a compass technical drawing instrument ?
Better straight line by hand or using the edge of a ruler ?
This isn't drawing!
Let me start by saying Sharp is Sharp period! The blade is either sharp or it is not. What we are really talking about is edge stability, edge retention, and edge toughness (durability).
This can be argued forever but there are things to take into account. First NOBODY in their right mind would ever argue that a guiding system doesn't gives a superior flat edge. We all know that it will give the flattest most consistent edge. But a flat edge doesn't mean it is the most stable edge. Remember sharp is sharp period, and we are talking about the edge remaining so.
