A better title for the video might have been "The Problem With Micro Bevels On Knives".  This would have effectively stopped me from wasting my time watching the video. I suspect the truncated title was intentionally chosen to drag in unsuspecting woodworkers.

I deburr most knives at 1.5°-2° greater than the sharpening angle. This is what Vagim recommended in his book on sharpening and deburring for most steels. Is this a micro bevel? If so it has worked well for my knives and my customers.
