Yeah it's true Spike, everyone will give a different opinion.
Now where does that leave a sharpener who is on his way to becoming a knifemaker, Dave?
Don't change anything yet...at least give it 48 hours to poll. Then recount...I am in for group 1. But to be honest I never was a numerically linear person so 2 kind of makes sense...nope, GROUP 1.
Well, I think I got my answer. I will address this discrepancy and nomenclatural divide in the bevel definitions!
I've always thought:
primary = cutting edge
secondary = relief/back bevel
No matter the order in which you put them on. For the people in the #2 camp, would you then consider the cutting edge of a knife with a complex three bevels to be the "third or tertiary bevel"? Sounds weird this way to me.
Camp #3. The edge bevel and the back bevel.
