are the spydercos a 15degree angle, or a 20degree?

the reason I'm curious, I sharpened my Centofante III on a sharpmaker, using the 20 degree angle, and it looks like I've cut a second edge (bevel) into the blade after examining with a magnifying glass...

should I have used the 15 degree angle?
 
the ones I've seen have a 15degree (or 30total) with a micro bevel of 20degrees that you can hardly see. rule of thumb is to use the 15degree bit for the most part and knock the burr off with the 20degree angle.
 
The Japanese Spydercos I've had (VG-10, ATS-55) have had edge bevels of a little more than 30 degrees, but less than 40, so I've sharpened them on the 40 setting, except one of my Calypso Jrs, which I reprofiled to 30 degrees.

The Golden Colorado-made Spydercos I've had (S30V) have been less than 30 degrees, and I sharpen them on the 30 degree setting.
