940 Sharpening with Sharpmaker

[this_is_nascar]

I would start by emailing and/or calling Bemchmade Customer Service and asking them which of the two settings to use on the Sharpmaker. That will give you the original setting, and you can restore that with the medium and improve on it with the fine. The Sharpmaker is pretty standard, so, if they check around, someone should know the answer (Chris Reeve formally recommends its use for the Sebenza and provides the angle in its instruction sheet!). I do this for any knife I get, just before I sharpen it.


Good luck.

Good suggestion.

^ Benchmade uses 20/25 degrees per side.

That being the case, it sounds like I should use the 40 on the SM.
