I just bought a pair of chip carving knives (cutting and stab knives).
These knives are beveled on both sides of the blade, is this typical?
I've read that the cutting knife should be sharpened at 10 degrees, and
the stab knife at 25 degrees. I'm not sure if this means the combined
angle of both bevels, or each bevel. Any input?
Both sides of chip carving, and pocket knives should be beveled because
both sides are used in symmetrical cutting.
On the other hand, instrument makers knives are dead flat on one side
with a single bevel on the right or left side. They are used for
precision shearing of a flat face. A real PITA to keep the bevel, but a
joy to work with.

This is usenet. What Google displays on their web pages bears little
resemblance to what ACTUALLY happens on usenet.

I presume you're referring to the Google Groups display of the
newsgroup? Most of us don't use Google Groups, so what it looks like
there is completely irrelevant, and "bumping" the question doesn't make
any difference in whether we see it.
(Unfortunately, I don't have any idea about the answer to your actual
question, so although I saw it, I can't answer it!)

No worries; it didn't hurt anything. :)
Another thing about the Google Groups display compared to how the rest
of us see the messages -- most systems only display one message at a
time, and only the ones that haven't been read before, so I would have
had no idea what your above post was about if I hadn't particularly
remembered it from last time I was reading.
Thus, it's helpful to quote a bit of what you're replying to at the top
of your post, as I've done here -- though Google may not show it, if you
have the "hide quoted text" option set. To do the quoting automatically
with Google Groups, click on the "Show Options" link under the post
you're replying to (DON'T click on the obvious "Reply" link), and THEN
click on the "Reply" link that comes up once it does the show-options thing.
(And no need to apologize -- the most important things are asking
interesting questions and being polite, and you're certainly doing that!
The rest of this is pretty secondary.)

Now that was informative. :)

The ten degrees is measured from one side. What knives did you get? If they
are the Bartons, they are great knives but the chip knife needs to be
rebeveled to work well. Much to steep as they come. Yes, beveled both sides
is the way they should be. With the chip knife, you will be cutting both
left and right. If the bevel were only on one side, it would cut differently
depending on direction of cut. The stab knife is only used for accent marks.
It's wide blade needs to be beveled equally to leave the V shaped groove it
is intended to make.

It wasn't a problem. Your question is still visible - it may just take
a while for someone with the answer you want to come along and post a
reply. Remember that probably a third of the woodworking world is
sleeping at any given time, and another third are at work on something
else. Try to be patient.

No problem. We've all done it.
