Sharpening Global Vegtable knife

[oldrifleman]

I have a couple of Global vegtable knives that were given to me. They are not very sharp any more as I believe they have been abused by dishwashers and the like for too long. I was plannning to use my edge pro to sharpen them. What angles should I use? Steven

the factory edge is 13degrees per side but it's a convex edge so I'm not quite sure how that figure is taken, when I sharpen them for people I use a mouse pand and some abrasive paper and touch them up with a sharpmaker at 15degree per side (marked 30)

the AUS118 steel works well with this set up

For pure vegetable knives, as low as the knives will go, so 5-10 degrees depending on if the primary is hollow or flat. I generally add a micro-bevel at a more obtuse angle to enhance speed of sharpening, this is typically 15 degrees simply because a lot of jigs work there.
