    I'm trying to picture what you're saying and it seems like it's almost a razor within a razor. I.E. the bevel has a hollow razor shape which is where you're wheel sharpening theory would apply.

    Do they make sharpening wheels that small that could be that exact?

    I don't really know but I cannot imagine how a wider bevel could have been made?

    Im not too 'puter literate, or I would post the link, but if you can find the Dovo production video it will show you how its done from shearing the blanks to packaging. Its a great vid and well worth watching.

    A fine stone and a heavy hand could cause the shallow bevel you are talking about. That would flex the blade on every pass.

    Just my 2 cents, but something to think about!

    Hey wrench3047 thank you for that video. I thought the hollow grinding would explain the bevel but I saw that at the end they go to a flat stone spinning around and then go to a regular flat hone.

    I was really surprised that there really was not a bit of automation at that facility. It was all done by hand.

    Another thing that I found interesting is the way they hone. Did you guys notice that they run the blade forth and back on that flat hone not just into the hone as we see here. The lady running the strop did pick up some crazy speed. I don't really think their hanging hair test is very legit. It looked to me like she pinched the hair against her nail and then ran the blade up and over it.

    Give that man a cigar !!! a heavy hand will extend the bevel.. it also weakens the edge, so back to what Kelly/Nun2sharp said about always creating your own bevel when in doubt....

    Off topic, but did anybody else notice in that vid, just how many scars were all over the poor workers hands?!?

    That is a great video. Never would have thought the manufacturer would hone by hand and somewhat test before shipping out, very cool.
