no, i know what you mean about the phone book though -- a good test of overall drag...
I wouldn't even say it is a good test..unless you are being tested on how deep you can stab a phone book....I have 2 RD9s, 1 old style and 1 new full flat grind...the new one whittles through wood like it wasn't even there, but that old style hacks apart bone and flesh (deer, and cow ribs) MUCH more effectively.
