Interesting observation! Seems I'm not alone here.
The thing is, for me, a Mora is a working knife. I'm talking the $10-15 ones with the plastic handles. They need regular touch-ups when working. Purists may cringe, but for me that means a micro-bevel.
But: I just compared a couple of well-used ones to a new one with the same blade. And surprise! the main bevel on the old ones has actually shrunk in size due to my bastardized sharpening style. This means the "wedge" is getting thicker than it was new, and possibly offers more cutting resistance.
So just for the heck of it, I may take a file and shape the bevel to its original angle and size, just to see if I notice a practical difference.
