Microtech Scarab / Wicked Edge Settings

[45 ACP]

I bought a Microtech Scarab last month. I haven't clamped it into my Wicked Edge yet. The blade is plenty sharp.

Anyone have any tips on alignment settings for their Scarab?

I understand Microtech knives are ground at an 18 degree angle. Since I haven't put it in the jig yet, I don't know how far forward/reverse to set it when the time comes.

Thanks in advance for sharing your expertise

I've found that numbers don't mean a whole lot when sharpening, especially when it comes to settings. Best thing you can do is get an angle cube and adjust by that everytime or use the sharpie method to determine when you're covering the edge.
