Overview

When it comes to testing the sharpness of blades, traditional methods like cutting newspaper or shaving arm hair simply don't provide the accuracy needed. The BESS certified PT50 Series Sharpness Tester from Edge-On-Up offers precision and consistency that professionals and enthusiasts trust to measure sharpness.

Using the BESS (Brubacher Edge Sharpness Scale), developed by Mike Brubacher, this method delivers a reliable measurement of knife sharpness. It's a widely adopted testing standard used to evaluate the sharpness of blades accurately.

Product Details

The PT50 Series Sharpness Testers from Edge-On-Up allow you to precisely measure and quantify the sharpness of any edge. These systems calculate the force in grams required to cut through a calibrated test medium. The resulting number provides an accurate indication of the blade's sharpness.

For reference, a scale is provided to correlate the score to the BESS range, from 2000 BESS (unsharpened knife) to 0 BESS (maximum sharpness). Knives scoring below 50 BESS are considered razor sharp. The lower the BESS value, the sharper the blade, as less force is needed to cut.
