Sharpen BK2 on Spyderco sharpmaker?

[Brennanscott]

If I sharpen my BK-2 on my sharpmaker should I back bevel it first? I know, I just don't have the $$$ for an Apex now.

Check on the angles of the edge first. The left side on my BK2 was absolutely fine (little under 20 degrees), whereas the right side was way off. Use the Sharpie method to see whether you hit the edge or not and decide which side need back beveling.

I'm not as anal about sharpening as most... if it can shave It'll do for me.. at least in a haeavy use knife... I use a sharpmaker on my bk7's I use I do not back bevel.
