Yep, that is so true Eric,I had no one to show me how to use one so I went with bevel up and learned to use it that way,not until years later did I find out I was using it all wrong.
I tried to change but just can't seem to make it work as well for me bevel down and sure don't want it dull.

My first draw knife was inherited from Marcia's Dad. He got it from a flea market and it was old then. That was about 40 years ago. It was dull when I got it and nobody showed me how to use it so I just used it the best way I knew how, dull and bevel down.
Pappy, I don't think there is a right or wrong. If it works for you just keep on keeping on!

I inherited the one I use from Dad. It is an oldie. Like me. He died in '89.
I never saw him use it. I don't know where he got it.
I wish my knife could talk and answer all the questions I have.
Some things I'll never know.
Bevel up and sharp.

I just got mine a few weeks ago. I thought bevel up was the way to go. Today I tried it bevel down and life suddenly became so much easier. Long, curly shavings feel cool when they come off.
