Thanks. :)
No, I don't do the microbevel thing right now. I've tried it in the past and didn't notice much of a difference, but Tim knows his stuff and I don't doubt that it works for him.
I honestly don't get the controversy over this; with as tiny as his bevels are, it would literally take seven or eight minutes to get rid of the microbevel and hone it back up to whatever insane level of sharpness your heart desires. :)
