Here is a pic. Not a good one, I simply put the point and shoot up to the microscope's eyepiece. You can see the red marker I applied after stoning, then where the steel contacted the bevel. This edge is not one of the "steel-abused" ones, so it is fairly smooth. But it could be smoother. And see what I mean about the furrows in the face of the bevel?



FYI this is a Victorinox-Forschner, 8" cimeter (curved) slicer, stamped blade, been a workhorse for nearly 20 years. It is sharp, most people who felt the blade would say its "like a razor" or some such comment, but from the microscope shot you can see it could be smoother and sharper.
