Okay, you are officially a master photographer! OMG this was so freaking cool! I saw this and thought, "of course this is what we should see!" I thought, "of course we could mount the camera to the blade!" When my brain goes to, "of course" anything, that means the content creator, in my book, is a freaking genius! My hat is off to you.
I knew lighter pressure refined rhe scratch pattern, but I didn't know the actual mechanics by which is worked. I've learned almost as much as I've learned about sharpening over the previous 8 years as I have in the past year of watching your videos. Always incredibly informative, I appreciate your content.
That's cool. I've never seen this before. It's amazing how clear it is in a video rather than In still images and description. I guess we're visual learners now.
I’ve been watching your channel for about a year now and coming from Macro photography this is so fascinating. I believe you are either the first or the few that has ever captured this before. This gives such a great understanding of the sharpening process
This video is weird, I know what I am seeing but at the same time my brain farts and I do not see. Much like a cord can defocus and loses depth! Great tip, thanks
Video Idea: you could collab with This Old Tony or another machine channel and/or use some contraption of dial indicators with super fine tips on a surface plate and a little trigonometry to measure the difference in actual sharpening angles across a blade with a curve.
Could you do a video on how sharpening a serrated knife works. I really prefer your explanations over any other. I don't fully understand how bur removal works with serrated knives.
I would like for you to do a video exploring what happens to the edge when it is buffed/polished on a buffer. I buff all my non shaving edges after establishing a fine edge with a "coarse" 1000 grit waterstone wheel. I use green chrome polish on a medium muslin wheel and drag buff both sides. I get a mirror bright edge that easily pops hairs. I'd love to see how this looks under a microscope.
... To my eyes, the "light pressure" photo seems to have deeper scratches, than the "high pressure" photo. Also, the size of the bevel is notably different, suggesting that the level of magnification is different, which means you can't do a proper comparison.
Crazy a$$ video!! I'm sea-sick now. So the only thing heavier pressure does is make it harder to remove the scratch pattern if you want a mirror edge. Nice work Alex!!!
It seems like there are deeper, random scratches with higher pressure, but the majority of the scratches are fairly close to the light pressure bevel. Or is that just my bad eyes?
No, me too. The comparison is not that clear in just a 2D image. He saw the scratch-pattern in 3D and knows what to look for. It doesn't help that the two scratch-patterns had a slight difference in magnification judging by the height of the bevel.
I thought the opposite. It needed to zoom in from the bottom. Coming in from the top and then suddenly showing the bottom with no transition was quite jarring to me.
Sorry. I recently had a bunch of footage stolen and used as advertising for another company's products. The music is copyrighted by a paid subscription service, so it actually helps keep my footage from being stolen and used on other platforms. Otherwise it wouldn't be there.

I dont think ive seen anyone else do this in all my time owning a knife or watching knife reviews/channels. This is great content keep it up.
Nothing makes me stop and watch like an OUTDOORS55 video!
Glad you're doing better these days!
Thanks! One day at a time!🙂
Your do so well with the macro shots!! Love seeing your new videos.
Yet another mind opening video! You really are the go to channel for anyone wanting to improve their sharpening skills!
This is such an amazing channel, I am very grateful for your videos!!!
That’s such awesome footage!

This microscope is propably the best thing you could buy for your channel. The footage is amazing.

This is amazing to watch, keep it up man we all really appreciate the content
These shots will always blow my mind every time I see them
Haha me too. They are not easy to get🙂👍
That's some amazing photography!
Awesome. I wonder if you are going to get an electron microscope at some point to go to the next level.
Next level of sharpness to attain: shaving bacteria.

They only start at $120,000👍
Got the new sharpal via your link. It's quite nice so far.

Holy close up Batman. I can see every grain!!!!!
You’re the best macro photographer/videographer I’ve ever seen!
Relaly cool to see it up close.
Wow! Now that is cool! Love your channel. I always learn something and am usually amazed.
can you do a video on thinning a knife evenly, how to pick the angle for it etc please
Lol....my had to explain "pressure" hahaha....awesome stuff as always
WOW! What a nice video. Great images from your microscope. You can see the formation of a burr right in front of your eyes.

Purely top notch h content. Great videography. I have no idea how you filmed this haha
wicked cool video. thank you.
Very cool images!
Love the music 🪴🤏🔥💨
Great photo.. hope they don't get stolen

I give it 2 weeks before I see this awesome footage being advertised by some new pull-thru sharpener lol awesome camera work!
Will gliding your knife on a leather strap like the barbers use to do will get rid of or smooth out the burs.
Good to see new post 👍
Wow! So cool.
That's so cool!
Good stuff 👏
Tonight, on NOVA...
Super cool
It seems like there are deeper, random scratches with higher pressure, but the majority of the scratches are fairly close to the light pressure bevel. Or is that just my bad eyes?
You cam see the much deeper scratches in the dark spots on the edge👍
No, me too. The comparison is not that clear in just a 2D image. He saw the scratch-pattern in 3D and knows what to look for. It doesn't help that the two scratch-patterns had a slight difference in magnification judging by the height of the bevel.
That transition was smooth👌
I thought the opposite. It needed to zoom in from the bottom. Coming in from the top and then suddenly showing the bottom with no transition was quite jarring to me.
🤓 I can't see!!!!!!!!!
It's difficult to focus on what you're saying with ridiculous background music
No it isn’t. There may be something wrong with your ears. Consult an ear specialist. However, the choice of music is appalling…
