Factory Grind Angles by Model

[Indiana Joe]

Mods, I put this in the Emerson subforum because I am only asking about Emerson blades.

Just curious if anyone knows exactly what the factory grind angles are for various Emerson blades. I currently have to use "the Sharpie trick" in order to adjust my hand while sharpening on my Sharpmaker. However, I've been contemplating an EdgePro and was wondering about the exact angles.

If no one knows any specific angles, do you think EKI would give that info to me if I called?

I "think" the chisel is 30 and the others are 20.

I believe even regular V-ground blades still have the chisel microbevel, right? I want to say it's roughly 30 on the chisel side of the bevel, and about 10-15 on the other. But that's a guess based on sharpening while "free-handing" the approximate angle on my Sharpmaker (yes, free-handing isn't the word if I'm using a Sharpmaker, but you guys know what I mean, right? )

I sharpened by cqc7 spear point recently, and found the angle to be around 25 from the factory. It is v ground but just like all Emerson's the actual edge was a chisel. I got the 25 from experimenting until I found the matching angle on my wicked edge.

Thank you, that information really helps. Much appreciated, fellas!
