Sharpness score of your hunting knife

[coya]

To those psychotic enough to purchase a sharpness tester for your knives(like me), what's the typical sharpness you expect on your hunting knives?
I can consistently get a BESS score of 145ish on my argali carbon with worksharp precision adjust elite. I'm just an average joe at sharpening, curious how far the envelope can be pushed.

I’ve never been good at sharpening my knives and have always admired guys who can do it well. Mine is slightly better than a butter knife.

I'd highly recommend the worksharp to ya then. You can get them screaming sharp at an amateur level

I have a KME sharpening system which is very similar to what you’re using and I get mine hair shaving sharp.
I don’t have a sharpness tester, so I use the back of my hand and if it shaves the hairs off the back of my hand then it is good to go.
These systems are easy to use, but there is just a little bit of a learning curve to it.
Make sure you’re getting a burr is key.
