Sharpening questions

[Emersonman91]

I have been wondering why the bevel is so big on my Emerson and whether I’m supposed to sharpen both the small bevel and the larger one or just the small microbevel at the edge.

I have highlighted the two bevels in the picture included.

the blue line points to the larger bevel that I’m not currently sharpening and the red line points to the actually bevel I’m sharpening

am I doing this right ?

Also what’s the easiest way to upload pics for the future cause I had to upload this as a link not an embedded image

The blue arrow is pointing to whats called the primary bevel, there is no need to sharpen this. This is just where the maker began the plunge grind to thin the stock of the steel to get to the edge. The red arrow is pointing to the cutting edge also known as the secondary bevel. That is the only edge you sharpen. Since that knife you have has a chisel ground blade you really only need to sharpen the edge the red arrow is pointing to. On the opposite side you only need to buff the micro bevel to knock off the burr when sharpening.
