one should always endeavor to keep ones edges as sharp as possible, but no sharper.


does it cut? it's sharp.
how sharp is possible? that depends on a bunch of factors. I'm sure that this thread will devolve to examine them in depth.


suffice it to say if the tool performs as intended and produces a result that meets requirements it's sharp enough. sharpening beyond that is a waste of your limited shop time.

pictures of edges do not cut wood.
