Right, but that doesn't necessarily impact the overall sharpness--just the "toothiness", correct? I'n other words, you can have a toothy edge that's done up with a coarse hone and maybe passed a few times with a fine one, but that can still push cut.
Yes. That is what I do on my knives. Now I do not like a RAZOR edge, to fragile for me, and believe it or not, sometimes a HIGHLY POLISHED edge, will slide where one with more tooth will grab and cut. I get a course "toothy, sharp)edge and hit it a few licks on a fine stone just to even things up and I am done. Always cut good for me that way
