bevel angle on RAT-7?

Hi everyone. I received my RAT-7 in 1095 steel a couple weeks ago. I really like the knife and was wondering if someone knew what the angle of the bevel was on these blades? Thanks in advance, Gary.

In general the production bevels on knives tends to vary quite a bit even on the same blade. Spydero is fairly consistent, but Ontario isn't. If it is in regards to sharpening, the odds on your blade being an exact match to a common jig angle are fairly remote. You can just outline the edge with a marker as described in Joe's FAQ to ensure you are matching the existing edge bevel.
