I'll admit that I don't have much use for a "shaving edge" on my everyday carry knife, nor with almost every other knife. A knife that will shave, is good for showing off and shaving, but that edge will be gone with one swipe of the crap that I usually cut on my job.
I'd feel pretty bad if I couldn't grab a 2x4 stone of most any kind, and bring my edge to a "near shave" sharpness. The advice I'd give for anyone who wants to keep your knife decently sharp and easy to resharpen, is NEVER cheat on your bevel. It's pure kid's stuff to take a dull knife and want to bring it to an edge with a couple licks. Do that and you have just changed your bevel from 20 degrees to 30. Pretty soon you've got an edge that takes a half hour to bring back.
I've been using these knives for awhile, they aren't fancy or expensive, but work for me. I've gutted "and skinned" deer and elk with them, and otherwise mis-used them for about anything you could think of.

I guess if I had fancier knives, and less use for them, I'd prolly spend more time making them shave.
