I guess it kinda depends on the particular tool.  I forge my own adzes and
drawknives, and work them down to a pretty sharp edge.  Some of those I've
seen in catalogs are pretty thick at the cutting edge, so the bevel in
ground on the inside.  Probably what I'd do in that case, too.  I just
happen to like the thin edge.

So, guess I'd say to just do whatever works for you...and best of luck.

H...sorta wishing I'd kept my mouth shut
