Mr. Mark, at great risk of showing my ignorance, (wouldn't be the first time 
), are not the sloped sides of the EOU blade a bevel? Why do you say, "Without any bevels, your blades are very thick in comparison" ?
Then you say, "Normally you'd grind your bevels in the neighborhood of 3-5 dps down to an edge". Really? I don't normally do that as far as I know. 3-5 dps? I don't think I've ever tried to make a 3° or even a 5° bevel angle. The blade would have to be almost flat against the belt. I don't get it.
When I sharpen in my crude way, there is only one bevel, and only one bevel angle that extends from the edge to the side of the blade. The width of the bevel is determined by the bevel angle.
Sorry for being thick-headed, (I was born that way), but I don't understand.
