The original edge on my Scrapper 5 was around 40 degrees on the straight part of the edge and 45-50 (ish) on the curved part towards the tip.
It was reasonably sharp but couldn't really cut well because of this, and imo a knife of this size is used more for cutting than for chopping.
I first reprofiled it to 30 degrees inclusive on said Wicked Edge with just the original diamond stones in gritsizes 100, 200, 400, and 600.
(30 degrees inclusive is the lowest you can go on the Wicked Edge.)
When that was done the edge looked like this:
It is indeed a characteristic of the Wicked Edge that on longer blades it creates that distinctive wider bevel nearer to the point, which is especially noticeable on medium and larger blades.
On medium sized blades you can counter this effect by clamping the blade more towards the point, but i didn't mind on the Scrapper.
The SR101 steel proved quite abrasive resistant and reprofiling took some time.
The actual sharpening was done by taping several pieces of increasingly finer grits of wet & dry paper to the diamond stones, since i don't have the original finer stones from Wicked Edge.
After the final 600 grit diamond stone i used 800, 1000, 1200, 1500, 2000, after which some no-name polishing compound on thin cardboard, also taped to a pair of diamond stones.
When that was done the edge could whittle hair.
The next day i spent an afternoon in the woods cutting and hacking various softwoods, and among other things a wristsize stick the length of myself was chopped to small pieces, each about the size of the Scrapper handle.
I specifically did this to blunt the edge as much as possible, but in a reasonable way, so no hacking on concrete.
After all this the edge could still shave the hairs on the back of my hand on skinlevel, not above anymore.
The coating is also very durable; it still looked like new.
I'm so impressed with the real world durability and the steel quality that i ordered a handmade Kydex sheath for it.
(not sure what you're saying)
