Here are the first 50 or so blades, in decreasing order of inclusive bevel angle. Also listed are the angles for the left and right sides in degrees. The measurements are probably accurate to about a degree. I measured some of the blades with two different Gritomatic laser goniometers, the cheaper one and the one with magnets. They agreed to within a degree, with the differences probably due to my inability to get the blade positioned exactly right.
An entry such as (14,33) means that the bevel is convex, ranging from 14 degrees towards the spine to 33 degrees near the apex.
An entry such as (18,40+) means that the angle near the apex is bigger than I can read off the goniometer. A very wide angle like this does not necessarily mean that the edge is dull according to the Edge-On-Up.
Some of these knives had been used at the time I took the measurements, but not heavily, and none of them had been sharpened. Light use does not show up on the goniometer. Some of the knives belong to me. Some of the knives I measured in a local store.
The <<<\>> stuff is a crude graphic representation. I will not know whether that works until I post. Here goes.
