So here is where this starts for myself! I always ground down to the near dimes thickness mark with my blades, HT and the do a secondary bevel after HT.
So this is my train of thought for bringing this up for discussion!! I have been watching, listening, and learning, of late and I am about to try something new!
I am going to try grinding my blades after HT. The consensus seems to be that it is easier!! Also it eliminates some of the problems with missing the dimes thickness theory!! So here is where the actual question comes in!!

If I do my grinds after HT, and I grind the bevel in and polish to finish. Why do a secondary bevel???
Lets say I do a hollow grind, ( I was looking at a hollow grind somebody had posted a pic of, when I had this revelation) and pull it down to a finished first bevel!! Why do a secondary bevel???
Once that first bevel dulls and you have to re-sharpen you will automatically create that secondary bevel when re-sharpening!!!
Or will having a primary bevel only, make that bevel be easy to dull, and/or other problems I am not forseeing??
So I open this for discussion and lets be nice ladies and gentlemen!!
