A buddy said his dad could put a blade on a steel in 30 seconds flat.

My grandpa @jordan_hill could do it in 25 seconds flat, easy.

Hold up, 25 seconds flat? I gotta push back on that. If we're talking a real fine edge on a razor blade, not just a quick pass on a kitchen knife, I've seen guys take way longer to get it right. Taking it slow and checking your angle every few strokes is how you avoid burning the edge or making it uneven, not by racing through it.
