Quick question that I'm sure will engender a number of competing responses, but here goes.
Is it possible to get a high-quality shave-ready edge (and please don't look too far into this or include the caveat of subjectivity here...you all know what I mean) after removing a chip (~1mm) from an edge without also removing the comparable amount of spine? Or is the geometry altered enough that no decent bevel can be achieved going forward unless the spine is also worn down.
I know the angle calculation is possible and that the bevel will be marginally more acute, but so long as both the edge and the spine are still making contact, it should still come to a decent edge, correct?
