So - if, instead of a burr, we have a sharp cutting edge angled at the same aspect that the micro-beveled burr would be, then it should 1) cut (scrape) the same as a burr would and 2) last for a long time, since it doesn't break down the same way a burr will.
That's been my approach to sharpening my knife, and, as I have mentioned before, I make several reeds between sharpenings rather than several sharpenings per reed.
Susan - I hope you and yours are weathering the tornado scourge! I'm SO glad to only need to worry about earthquakes every 50 years or so...
