"The photos in the previous post are of an old German pruning type knife I just aquired. It surely is interesting, and quite old."

Is it sharp?
Outside of using one of those 'Sharpness Tester's (Like the ones I have seen on the youtube videos), how do you check/verify the sharpness of your knife? The knife I am cleaning up and sharpening, cuts paper really nice and cleanly, and feels sharp against my thumb.
I have never put much faith in shaving arm hair...

I intentionally put a little more acute angle on my sharpening of this knife. I see this knife being used in the kitchen more than anywhere else, so I ensured that it is a slicer, not a chopper.
A fine edge; honed and stropped nicely. I have not had the chance to slice veggies with it yet, but I expect it to excel in that task.
