I put my first (ever tried) microbevel on my Genga Gisshin 240mm gyuto today at work and my first impressions are:
- easy to do (on a 4000 shapton)
- the "feel" of passing the blade through peppers,etc. was slowed to a small degree ....it was noticeable.
- edge retention through a case of said peppers + case mushrooms+ herbs was pretty much the same as when I did not microbevel (I did have to steel after in order to slice into a pepper skin smoothly).
I'm wondering if this is a good idea at all, any thoughts?
