Dear all,
Does anyone here know whether you can use the "edge on up" sharpness tester "fixture" (https://www.sharpeningsupplies.com/New-Aluminum-Test-Fixture-P1641.aspx) - I hope it is okay to link to this, I just want to be clear what I am referring to! - on a normal kitchen digital scale? The fixture costs $35, while the cheapest tester costs $129 and the upgraded version $179 (or higher for the premium model). I can't afford the whole set-up, but I could buy the fixture and just use a digital scale we already have at home.
I understand that the numbers would likely be different from the sharpness scale that comes with the whole "edge-on-up" set-up, fixture and scale, but I would think a relative rating would still be useful.
Any advice/experience would be welcome,
Thank you,
Bryson
