Interesting topic.
One thing that I have noticed in kitchen use of a single bevel is that if the bevel is on the correct side for the handedness of the user, the slice/chop is quite different than a double bevel.
For instance, I am right handed, and having the flat on the left side (looking down as you would use the knife) seems to work well when slicing something like a potato.
And I have also experienced a sharper edge more easily obtained than the double bevel.
My big issue with the single bevel is that I cut myself more often!
Obviously because there is less distance from the flat side to my left hand digits.
