noob question: I just decided to add a carter and a masamoto into rotation, and took them out of their boxes.
The odd this is the final edges seem really tiny - 1mm give or take. Even on the carters. Are these microbevels?
After sharpening my edge bevels broaden out significantly. Whilst I can't achieve levels of sharpness that allows the knife to pass through thermal paper standing on its own without a slicing action, I am wondering if there is something to the whole tiny edge thing.
Does anyone here sharpen to only the tiniest edge as well? Or leave much wider bevels?
