I have found some of the answer. Some razor blades measure .4 Microns at the apex where the two bevels come together. Now, I am trying to find out the size of 1 Micron in inches.

I understand what you are talking about. I have used the same methods to test for sharpness.

I am asking the technical questions because I am curious to know this measurement. For example how sharp is sharp?

I have read that obsidian is 100 times sharper that it is possible to get the sharpest steel blade. Makes me wonder how thick the obsidian is at it's cutting edge.





1-7,

I find it hard to believe that you can read/find/understand "the obsidian" which, has been tried as surgical scalpel blades and yet not find the conversion from microns to inches! LOL
