What are the sharpening angles on Kizer knives? 30 degrees inclusive for back bevel and 40 degrees for the microbevel edge?
 
Wow, whoa! Hold up! One at a time, let's not all answer at once...

( I was looking for the same info myself )
 
I Really suck at sharpening, yet on the other hand i have 20-some-odd Kizers, so I feel duty bound to respond. If you have good feedback, AND good sharpening skillz, I'll send you a Kizer to play with so we can end this mystery once and for all! communicate with me via PM to figure this out.
 
My Rogue came from the factory with an apex angle of approximately 51 degrees inclusive:

My Zugang came from the factory with an apex angle of approximately 48 degrees inclusive (and perhaps a small burr):

One more: My Begleiter came from the factory with an apex angle of approximately 53 degrees inclusive:

Hmmmm..., I would have thought something around 40 degrees. Interesting that they are around 50 degrees from the factory.
