An experienced sharpener friend of mine tested the influence of direction on performance and had same result as yours. A small influence but nothing major. What we feel as microsserations are irregularities on the apex but they don't coincide with the grooves from the abrasives and don't look like serrations. The apex is irregular because it breaks on points where carbide clumps. You can check these images on Science of Sharp.
@@davidtatro7457 The site is really good. It's the best place to learn about sharpening. Most of his articles are great and have unexpected findings I would never have guessed without the images.

Haha I wonder about weird stuff like this when I sharpen. This is exactly something I would do too. Glad you took the time to share. It’s been a year so have you came to any more conclusions or discoveries?
Not so far. I've been quite busy with work this past year and haven't repeated the experiment in any rigorous way as of yet. Eventually, I'll do it with a different knife and finish at a lower grit and see how that goes.
Excellent question. I sharpened all my blades this way for some time when l was learning, and l don't recall having any great jump in edge retention after learninf to switch hands and make them all the same direction. It would probably depend on the steel and the finishing grit to some extent.
those aren't whetstones, they are DRY stones. lmao. that right there is a give away to take anything said with a hefty dose of salt and just enjoy the show. Knife bros are a notoriously weird, borderline cultish bunch highly predisposed to mythology
You are way over intellectualizing this trying to figure out this angle and that angle or how you're going to do it. Try watching a few RUclips videos of Sushi Chefs sharpening their knives. It's not rocket science
It's simply an experiment. I can sharpen any direction and make a razor edge that will perform very well. Some of us are just a little more obsessed with details than others. 😊

Love that idea, thanks for the reply, and l will indeed check that source out.

I do the exact same thing. checking bur on wrong side when I practice switch hands.
Do you think crossed teeth direction would impact edge retention ?

No
What whetstones are you using brother?
Suehiro Debado MD 1k and 4k, then stropping on Shapton pro 12k.
