Splitter Blade Micro-Bevel Or Not?

[Trox]

By having a secondary bevel on the blade it changes the angle of cutting to a more blunt angle. This is extreme but think a maul instead of a knife. The more blunt edge does not cut as well but it holds an edge longer. It is also a lot easier to sharpen at the factory. Look at your blade and how rough the grind is on the primary bevel, it would be harder to properly polish out the entire edge so they tip it up and do a final grind. Even their final grind is poor, but it is what it is, you did not buy it because it was quality, you bought it because it was cheap. You can take it in to a sharpening shop, or for almost no money and a lot of time you can hone it to a scary sharp single bevel. The only issue that is sort of an unknown is the quality of the knife blade. Low quality steel is easy to sharpen and fast to dull.

Now we have knife humor...
