The beauty of the micro bevel is that it’s so small it takes almost no time to sharpen it back up. Just a touch on high grit and it’s done. Hell, I rarely sharpen at all because I use the strip disc very very regularly and that keeps a keen edge. 

The downside of the micro bevel is that it’s so small it has to be re-touched with the exact same angle as before. If it’s off, it doesn’t want to settle back into the angle as a benchmark because there’s just not enough surface area to register off. 

Before I started using a guide, I had several beautiful multi-facet bevels on some of my tools. 😖

Ryan/// ~sigh~ I blew up another bowl. Moke told me "I made the inside bigger than the outside".
