What you guys can do is come up with trials to put these blades through! I was thinking just off the top of my head:
Sharpness - see if it catches the fingernail, then if it cuts cardstock, then regular paper, then newspaper, then shave hair. I could also just measure the sharpness i.e. how many pounds of force it takes to severe a 3 ply linen string.
Edge retention - cut a bunch of wood or something. Something rough that dulls knives fast.
Toughness - batoning? Also part of edge retention? Maybe cut up brass rods (edge toughness)
Durability - bend that sucker till it breaks. I will try and record the angle it breaks at. 90 degrees is the goal I suppose.
I'm also going to set it up so its scored, and it'll be up to the maker if they want their score to be private or not.
