Hi all,

Does anyone know at what angles the Ontario RAT-7 & TAK blade edges are cut ? ( ie, 30 degrees or other?). Also if they are a double bevel edge or not?

I ask this so to help in sharpening the blades the best possible.

MUCH THANKS in advance!!!!
 
There is usually quire a significant deviation among production knives in edge angles, even if it is spec'ed at 20 you can find them from 15 to 25, so the spec angle isn't something you consider when sharpening but rather the angle on your specific knife. In that regard, the odds that the guy who sharpened it, adjusted it to be optimal for you is also near impossible as this depends on your skill level, physical ability and method of use.

I have to lean my RAT-7 and TAK to the side ever so slightly when using the 40-degree setting on my Sharpmaker. I'm guessing the angles on mine are ~45deg.
 
I reprofiled my RTAK with a convex edge. Cuts like a laser now.:D
