Recommendations for Schrade Uncle Henry Lockback?

What DPS would you use to reset Bevel on an Uncle Henry? I reset the Bevel on my Spyderco Endura ATS-55 to 20dps, after reading a number of posts, people are saying 15dps?

Virtually any decent knife can hold up pretty well at 15°/side (30° inclusive) in normal and non-abusive cutting tasks (no prying, turning screws, etc). I don't even consider going any higher than 30° inclusive, and don't use or carry any knife until it's within that limit, or oftentimes even lower. If, for some reason, you find you want to widen it a bit afterward, a 20°/side microbevel applied to that 30° edge is an easy way to go about it, and you'll still keep most of the cutting advantages of the narrower cutting geometry behind that microbevel.

Thanks for your reply. I always thought that 15 dps were regulated towards some kitchen knives, e.g. Victoronix. I have been reading of late that a lot of folks choose 15dps for their folders so I will try that this weekend on my Uncle Henry... I'm pretty new at this, a lot to learn.
