I believe that Spydies come from the factory with a 30 degree angle on the edge. I can't remember which thread stated that info though....
 
Thanks, calyth, it's been a while since I've checked out my 204 video. ;)
 
Been a while since I saw my vid, but was always thinking they were 30ish from factory, to give the elu as long as possible before reprofiling.

I've got both the dealer vid and 204 vid, watched both of them a lot of times.
 
Could you please tell me the correct sharpening angle for a Delica PE FRN VG-10 ? Is it 30 degrees ?

Thanks
 
I use 30 degrees on my VG-10 knives, but it is a thinner edge and is not as strong as the 40 degree thicker edge. There is no real "correct" angle. Thinner angles are sharper, but tax the steel more.

Thank you Sal.

Maybe I should clarify my question. What is the 'factory angle' on the Delica ? I will shortly buy a Sharpmaker 204 to touch up the blade and would like to make sure I maintain the original angle.

By the way, please keep the Delica FRN's in production - I can see another one on the horizon soon as they're so good ;)

Thank you again for your time and help with this.

Regards,

Tardis

The dealer vid is impressive for dates, but when it's just me I like to pop a big bowl of popcorn and watch the 204 video in super-slow mo.

:eek: :D :rolleyes:
