Thread: Microbevels.

No expert here but basically a micro bevel is a double bevel, think of a hipped roof shape only less blunt. It is created by adding a layer or two of tape to what you already have on when you hit the final hone in your progression. Leave the extra tape on if you go to a pasted balsa strop next. Remove all the tape for normal stropping on a hanging strop and you are done. It is just another way of trying to get a sharp smooth edge on a blade. If you have set a micro bevel the change in angles is not great so a few swipes without the added tape should return it to a normal single bevel. I am sure others will have a better more detailed explanation.
