A fully portable industrial-grade instrument for measuring both sharpness and slicing performance with high precision and advanced data analysis.
Performance
Built to handle demanding use, the EDGE LAB A features a heavy-duty load cell capable of measuring up to 5000 grams (11 lb) with 1 gram resolution.
Speed
Faster sensor polling captures more data points per measurement, delivering more detailed and accurate results.
Warranty
The EDGE LAB A comes with a 5-year limited warranty for long-term reliability.
Overview
Explore how EDGE LAB measures both push-cut sharpness and slicing performance with precision.
Testing modes
EDGE LAB instruments operate in two modes: MAX (sharpness) and SLC (slicing). In addition to standard push-cut testing, the system enables slicing tests using dedicated fixtures and ultra-thin polymer test media.
Slice test media is a 0.25 mm (0.010") polymer, available in SLCTM20 and SLCTM30 configurations. It enables direct comparison with other sharpeners and established edge standards. Each test — push or slice — generates dozens of logged data points, compared to a single data point in standard sharpness testing.
Analysis
Each slicing test produces dozens of data points, allowing detailed comparison of edge geometry, finish, and cutting behavior. This enables objective answers to long-standing sharpening questions like toothy vs polished edges.
Flexibility
In addition to standard media, you can test paper, rubber, or other flexible materials up to 2 mm thick for real-world performance evaluation. Slicing tests may be conducted manually with the included SLCF20 test fixture or with the aid of one of our Slice accessories.
Software
The included Windows interface allows you to set test parameters, calculate averages, and export data to CSV for analysis in Excel.
The Pro version adds real-time graphing for deeper insight into cutting performance.
Included
Includes software interface, USB connection, media fixtures, disposable clip base with 25 clips, slice test media, knife fulcrum, and rechargeable power supply.
Compatibility
Fully compatible with PT50 accessories and EDGE LAB add-ons for extended testing capabilities. EDGE LAB combines sharpness and slicing data to deliver a precise and realistic evaluation of edge performance.
