Buck sharpening angle

[stevekolt]

I'm sure that someone here knows what sharpening angle is used by Buck. Mainly for 110's 112's and Vantage series. Would they use the same angle for 119's, 102's? Lastly, are any of my Buck brother or sisters using a KME sharpening system?

Try a 16 or 17* angle. Use a felt marker and see if that hits one of the settings. DM

Most all of my Buck 110s and all models vary from 14-17 degrees per side with 15 being the most common.That is on my Buck knives.

Jeff states the angles in this thread. actually click this link ^ and then the link in my post and it goes to Jeff's post on the topic stating it.

no I use sharpmaker, regular stones and diamond benchstones and sometimes a wicked edge with diamonds to sharpen and reprofile with, myself.
