Math experts:
Suppose a 1.09 inch wide blade that is 0.182 inch thick and you want to bevel it flat 1/3 the blade width (a Scandi grind). What mathematical (Trig I suppose) formula would you use to determine the bevel angle? This is a blade I am grinding tonight and I have already roughly determined the angle with angle blocks and just plain judgement at the grinder but it would be so much faster if I could learn or remember the math for it instead.
Thanks.
