Sharpmaker question

[David Rock]

As everyone probably knows by now, Spyderco is coming out with a new, improved version of the Triangle Sharpmaker offering a choice of two sharpening angles rather than just one. My question is this: Is the "new" angle more acute than the original angle, or more obtuse?

Based solely on a picture of the Sharpmaker 204 in a knife magazine, the angle looks more acute.

David,

I vaguely recall (actually my memory is always vague these days, something to do with advancing age

) reading that the second angle is 15 degrees. I was hoping to get one of the new Sharpmakers before Christmas, but it seems they have been further delayed.

Cheers,
Clay
