So here's my now unused knife sharpener and the $15 (Amazon) microscope. I also had to buy a $6 pack of type C extension connectors to make it work with my Android phone. The microscope WILL NOT work with iPhone.
Below are the unmagnified scratches on the Chicago cutlery 10" Chef's knife blade made by the sharpener. It's a knife my wife received as a gift in the early 1980's, so it's old (that whole sentence will probably land me in hot water).
Those are actually kinda minor looking due to the brushed finish. They were MUCH more noticeable on my newer J.A. Henckels but I've started polishing them out with sandpaper.
Here are the gouges in the tip area of the 10" Chicago Cutlery knife.
