I hear people say, "don't use the sharpmaker unless you're okay with your edge convexing", and I think I might be. That's how Chris Reeve (not that I have any of those, but I know the guy knows something about knives) sends and recs his knives to be. But my favorite brand, as well as many others, come already micro-beveled.
What do you recommend I do about that? Just bite the bullet, learn to microbevel, maybe sell one of my numerous knives for some better sharpening equipment? Or cut and sharp-make until the microbevel no longer exists? What would be pros and cons in doing so?
I ask cause I am gonna bring a Cruwear, 3V and 420HC knife out with me camping, all microbeveled, and try to maintain them. This trip will involve way more cutting than normal, without the day-to-day knife switching I do, so my knvies will get dull and I finally will HAVE to keep 'em sharp, not just use my sharpmaker on my low-ends and my SAK. So... should I bother keeping the microbevel? On all of those knives.
