benchmade 551 angle?

[Scott.123]

Afternoon,
I just baught a brand new benchmade 551 griptillian in 154cm. Any one have one and sharpen it on a sharpmaker? What angle works,and am I going to have to reprofile the bevel? I'm curious what angle this comes from the factory with. Anyone know?

Thank you guys in advancefor any help you can give.

well i was able to get mine pretty sharp on the sharpmaker, but i did have to regrind the bevel just a bit. go ahead and use a sharpie on the edge when you sharpen you grip adn go from there. if you need to rebevel go for it, if not then lucky you. and mine was about 35 degree angle. so there ya go.

I bought one a few months ago and the one I got sharpens on the 30 degree setting without any reprofiling.
