Re: Bevel edge or razor blade?

That looks a bit like the Raz-r Steel folding pocket tool which I bought on CJ's recommendation a while back (though bigger). I use it to keep the burr on my double hollow ground knife from folding back which extends the time between sharpenings. For my beveled knives, though, I find that the best thing is to sharpen on the flat of the bevel, not to create a burr (this is Landwell's instruction in his sharpening book). I'm not sure sharpening steels are good for that but it seems to work for you...do you try to create a burr on your beveled knife? It can be done but it seems to me to partially defeat the purpose of a beveled knife.
