I just got myself a Wicked Edge, and i'm about to use it on my TGLB. I am wondering if anyone has an opinion on whether the 30 degree angle will be durable enough on this blade

Thanks for all the input folks. Yes i was referring to 30 inclusive.
I currently have a convex edge on it, and it's shaving sharp, but nowhere near as sharp as i can get it with the WE
maybe i'll stick with 40 degrees inclusive. I don't expect to do a lot of food slicing with this knife so maybe the more obtuse angle would be preferable
You should check out Cliff Stamp's thoughts on this. He is one of the most relentless testers of blades and steels that I've seen. In fact I believe he is one of the very few people to take the time, energy and dedication to break a Busse knife. He happily thins his SHBM down to 10 degrees per side (20 inclusive) and also discusses its durability.

Thin it down. Having had the BJ and TG with their thick edges, I soon got bored of the fact that while they were perfectly optimized for stabbing through bricks, they didn't really do knife things very well. ThINFI is the best
Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Jerry say INFI does not go over 60? That the idea of INFI 2.0 was to go over 60? Seriously, someone correct me if not, its been a while.
I really love the factory zero convex edge on my TGLB.
