Agreed.

just FWIW - I've purchased two Mora Companions in the last year (one carbon, one stainless) $13.80 shipped with Amazon Prime.

One came with a very slight microbevel; the other is a true scandi. (They are at work. I don't remember which one came with what.)

You can hardly see it with the naked eye, but if the edge catches the light just right you'll see the microbevel. It's visible under a loupe.

I've read on other forums that this microbevel is relatively new from Mora and was implemented to help with edge retention. If you are going to sharpen a Scandi that happens to have a microbevel by laying the edge flat on the stone, be aware that you'll have to take a bit of metal off first before you are hitting the apex.
