Ok folks, heres my question. My lovely new Grohmann knife arrived this morning (Cheers Tomtom!) and I see it comes factory sharpened with a small secondary bevel. The included instructions advise that this secondary bevel is maintained as it increases the working life of the edge. This seems to go against much of the advice I have read and also against the instruction I was given on a recent bushcraft course. Sooooo, assuming I intend to put the knife to 'average' bushcraft duties (Some carving, food prep and maybe some battoning) am I better off keeping or getting rid of the secondary bevel?
I'm reasonably happy maintaining a single beveled edge using waterstones and a strop, my £15 Mora is now 'interestingly' sharp but have no real experience of looking after secondary bevels.
Cheers,
Simon
ps Anyone who met me at the recent 'Greenhorn' course will see where my new avatar is coming from.........
