The BESS standard, or Brubacher Edge Sharpness Scale, is a standardized method for measuring the sharpness of knives. Developed by Mike Brubacher, owner of Edge-On-Up, the BESS uses a thin synthetic wire as a test medium, through which a knife is drawn in a single cutting motion. The maximum pressure applied to the wire is measured in grams and is the BESS value. A lower score on the BESS scale indicates a sharper knife.
