Small even bevels are easy to hone & a pleasure to look at
The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.

Uneven bevel reveals are a result of the grind not following the edge.

Sure thing. But also could be due to incorrect honing of past users... or a combination of the two.

Correct. I was going to add, 'or the edge not following the grind' , but I figured that it was redundant. Originally Posted by Srdjan

Probably my bad.. I thought you implied "grind" as in "factory grind", so a blade that's incorrect out of the factory. Anyway, I got a few more of these shaving like lasers. The bevel doesn't matter, as long as it's tolerable... maybe the topic here should be what's tolerable, in terms of angle and length of the individual sides of the bevel. I think the commonly accepted angles are cca 15-18 degrees, wasn't it?
