As grinding or honing reaches the actual cutting edge, there is a change in feel and sound that I listen for every time I sharpen. It’s a scratchy sound, more sibilant, almost like a hiss, and the feeling is more “catchy.”
There is also the sound of failure…loose hammer faces or heads, vibrations from machines, dull knives thunking over hard grain lines rather than cutting them, etc., that are good not to have tuned out.
