2. What type of bevel do you prefer: single bevel or double?

3. And for you honers out there, how sharp do you like them?

4. Finally is there something called "too sharp"?

...

  1. Slightly serrated. See #3 below.
  2. Double bevel.
  3. Sharpness between 600 to 1500 mesh. (Is my idea of slightly serrated.)
  4. Instead of "too sharp", I would say that too small an included angle (where the bevels meet) is possible.


As a historical note, Fred Bear often used the edge from a small pocket file on his arrowheads. He once sold small pocket files for that purpose.
