Making reasonable pictures with an USB-Microscope takes quite a bit of practice, so that's what i'm doing at the moment.
The idea for this thread is to show some pictures of untouched factory edges from various brands, so feel free to contribute if you have some as well.
This is the first one, a factory edge with a buffed apex on a Spyderco Paramilitary 2 in CPM-S110V steel and a measured edge angle of 30 degrees inclusive:

Nice idea. I am not quite sure how to interpret these pictures (eg that funny rise in the third pic), but I like your creativity and appreciate your pictures

Really cool pictures. They confirm my opinion about factory edges.

Hopefully it will love my mac, nice warehouse deal for just 15,- EurosDo you have alternatives to measure the angle
Or is the Tomak WM 200 simple and best one?best regards, Tom

Das ist auch mein Problem; ein USB-Microscop zu finden der compatible mit mein Macbook Pro ist.
Was ich jetzt habe wirkt auch nür mit ein PC, und der ist schon ganz alt.The WM-200 came with my Tormek T7 machine and it's simple and easy to use, just like this one that Spyderco made some time ago: https://www.spyderco.com/forumII/viewtopic.php?t=43017
Or this one: https://www.amazon.com/home-improvement/dp/B000CER0MKHowever, i do keep my eyes open for a more precise method, which would be a laser goniometer.
Here is an example that is sold by CATRA: http://www.catra.org/pages/products/kniveslevel1/lgpm.htm
Much cheaper versions seem to exist, but i haven't found an acceptable one yet.
