Simply apply gentle pressure to the wire with your knife. The accompanying scale records the pressure exerted until the wire is cut, providing your test result in grams on the BESS (Brubacher Edge Sharpness Scale) C-scale. A lower BESS value indicates a sharper knife, offering a concrete numerical assessment of sharpness that eliminates guesswork.Understanding the BESS Standard:The BESS standard, developed by Mike Brubacher, offers a user-friendly method for evaluating knife sharpness. Scores on the scale range from 2000 BESS for an unsharpened knife to 0 BESS for ultimate sharpness. For reference, a double-sided sharpened razor typically scores around 50 BESS.Given that the test measures only a small portion of the edge, it's recommended to assess three areas: the tip, middle, and heel. A weighted average of these values provides a comprehensive assessment of sharpness.Essential Materials:For accurate comparisons, certified test materials are necessary. Edge-On-Up provides the required materials, including the DoubleX test medium capable of conducting 325 measurements.FAQsQ. Which test methods come with the PT50A Industrial Edge Tester?A.
