I worked on mine with sandpaper a while back. I'm not sure of the exact angle I have going on. It's got a wickedly sharp convex edge now.
In the past I've found that if I go as thin as you have my edges don't stand up to tough cutting chores, like heavy plastic packing straps and such. I actually took a chunk out of a Kershaw skyline once that had too thin of an edge for the kind of cutting I need to do.

I put a 30 degree inclusive edge on mine with my Edge Pro. The shiny polished edge looks great (I'll try to post a pic later). I touch up the edge with my Sharpmaker with the rods in the 40 degree slots.
So far the new edge has held up fine. No rolling or denting when carving wood. But I haven't cut wire or hit bone with it yet.

You don't happen to work on an assembly line with conveyor belts do you?
Sorry, just had to ask!
