For my college 6 weeks field course I had to purchase a geologist's hand lens to be able to classify rocks. I remember that it was an expensive purchase for my starving student budget, but I went ahead and purchased a good one. It's a 10x lens.
For sentimental reasons, I haven't been able to part with it. I was digging around in a drawer, rediscovered it and thought .. "Hey! I could use this to see my chisel edges!" It's actually really helped me improve my sharpening. I can see if an edge is nicked or uneven and see the improved edge much more clearly.
Yeah, yeah .. I'm getting old and can't see anything.
