Thread: Bevel re-set

*

*I was *reading some old posts and and found reference to "bevel reset". I understand that method is mainly used for reseting a bevel after breadknifing. But why couldn't someone just use the same method all the *time. Will the traditional method to setting a bevel (using one layer of tape or none at all) create a burr on something that dull? **

*I can *visualize what happens when three layers of tape are used for setting *that mini bevel. Then with tape removed the lower part of that bevel gets honed away while the very edge doesent touch the hone making a thiner overall bevel. **

Does this help especially thinner blades since they would bend ever so slightly at the very edge, even while using light to none *preasureat all?*

*so is my description of *what happens during a "bevel re-set" acurate?*
*can I use this method every time I set a bevel?
*
why couldent someone with an extremely dull blade i.e.*
Breadknife *just put a piece of tape on the spine and start a bevel. * **

** * * * Thx. Guys *
