    The thing with a mirror finish is that it looks pretty and as a result the edge is super fine and would therefore dull very quickly, how much is actually gained for the amount of work required to obtain that edge in the first place? As far as I'm concerned, the blade should effortlessly cut through whatever I need to cut, anything more than that is time wasted. (unless you're fascinated by mirror edges of course)
    veitnamcam and viper like this.
    Regards
