ps I’m still curious as to what makes a “laser” a laser?
IMHO – 1 cent worth
Definition of “laser” term is subjective from person to person – whatever fit the bragging right. In general, it means thin spine (no more than 2.5mm for a 45+mm blade width) with zero grind (a giant bevel start at the spine all the way to the edge) and cutting edge is merely a acute angle micro-bevel (well, with subsequent sharpening the ‘micro’ does get bigger).
Looking at Richmond laser pic, their definition seems to be some sort of convex face, which goes steeper near the edge, then a regular cutting bevel. That cutting bevel isn’t micro, which suggest it’s not that thin behind the edge. Even taking possibly its cutting bevel angle is acute.[/quote]
Bluntcut, I have been following you closely for a year now. And I would say it is safe to say “you have forgotten more then I will ever know?” Thank you so much for taking the time to look at the pic and follow up!
Mark, thank you very much as well!
