Badanie ostrości noży kuchennych Differences in cutting forces vs. distance from blade tip after 1, 3, 5 and 7 passes through sandpaper, as compared to the sharp condition Sharpness test cutting forces before (dashed line) and after (solid line) three nicks were made on the blade. The nicks are apparent as force peaks on the solid line at approximately 1.5, 4.9, and 8.1 cm from the blade tip R.W. McGorry, P.C. Dowd, P.G.
