I agree with you. There is no need to sharpen the entire Scandi-grind (ala orthodox purist) while you're working - a quick, tiny, painless micro-bevel is not only faster and more efficient, but ultimately sharper. However, at the end of the week, or day, or whatever, taking the original grind down where it should be and, thus, removing the micro-bevel, seems to me the only way to go. Then, of course, once I finished, I'd add a light little micro-bevel to satisfy my lust for sharpnicity ((( )))
