As an engineer, I think if we add a larger load to the top of the blade then we can probably get away with the full 1000 without sharpening or swapping the edge out. Sharp edges have a lower force requirement but a blunt edge will still work with enough force.
If we need a test group I think the Sackler Family are an ideal target.
1,000 billionaires, 1 guillotine. That’s how.
