This atomic structure and sharpening angles would make for an interesting experiment. I would bet that someone out there has done extensive government funded testing on this theory. Especially for the tool/die/milling industry where they have machines cutting 24 hours a day year around. I know that the mining and oil industry spend millions on metallurgy research and development, why not everyone else? Anyway, its all too deep for me, and I enjoy the simplicity of just putting a sharp chisel to metal.
As I recall, you are an engineer are you not?
