Hello,

I use a Spyderco sharpmaker for sharpening my kives, but I have a problem with the KA_BAR TDI because the edge angle is 15 degrees.
And the Spyderco sharpmaker allow 30 or 40 degrees.

Do you have an advice for me ?

Thanks very much

Are you sure the angle on that knife is not 15 degrees per side. I do not have one but am pretty sure the sharpmaker angles you are listing are for two sides added to each other. so maybe the 30 degree sharpmarker angle is right for your knife possibly some one with a sharpmaker will tell you for sure.
 
On the knife specifications:

Weight: 0.18 lbs.
Blade Length: 2 5/16"
Overall Length: 5 5/8"
Grind: Hollow
Shape: Drop Point
Handle Material: Zytel
Stamp: KA-BAR
HRC: 57-59 CR
Edge Angle: 15 Degrees :eek:
Steel: AUS 8A Stainless Steel
Sheath: Glass Filled Nylon

But, I understand what you mean, 15+15 then 30 degrees 'V' total angle ok !! good news

Thanks very mush
