Wear Mechanisms of edges () Rum
The other factor is time, in the light of time I think corrosion might possibly be more of an issue for weekend warriors like myself. Tentative hypothesis would be something along the lines of:
- sharpen your tool
- do [small project] which isn't enough to warrant resharpening
- let sit for [time of duration of life events say O(2-4 weeks)]
- corrosion sets in
- subsequent usage is less than stellar.
- possible repeat the previous 4 steps
I'm thankfully in a super dry climate so background corrosion is relatively low so it hasn't been a huge problem for me, but I also try to clean/wax when done for the day (usually...) so that likely helps.
This would be more than slightly more tedious to test than the current ongoing set
