Poll=What angle do you sharpen using the sharpmaker!

[william8]

I am kind of new to sharpening and like the sharpmaker I use the 15 degree setting just how many use that one or 20 degee setting. So far I've had no trouble with chipping on the 15 setting. Thanks for any reponses.

I use 40 for all our outdoor fixed & folding pocket knives. I use 30 for kitchen knives, and fellet knives. In other words I follow Sal's video advise. RKBA!

Hi WIlliam When the knife is new I use the 15 degree setting and I have had no problems yet. Like the sharpness that I get with the 15 degree setting. I have had a few Problems with the sharpmarker but I think that you should sharpen at or close to the angle that the knife came with.Or you should reprofile the knife to the 15 or 20 degree of the sharpmaker.
