Spec Bump Factory edge.

[harrymole]

Does anyone know at what degree the Spec Bump factory edge is set to? I just received one in a trade and went to sharpen it with the Lansky. I am using the 25 degree angle which is still probably to obtuse, but I worked an hour on it with the course stone and still do not have the factory edge gone. It was grossly obtuse! I will tell you something about the CPM 154 steel it is in no way easier to sharpen than s30v, in fact I think it is harder to sharpen. I bet it will take a very keen edge though, I'll let you know when I am done. Thanks.

Same here, as I posted in another thread, I can't make it sharp with my sharpmaker at 40º...

If you are using the Sharpmaker you might want to get the diamond sleeves. I have heard they cut alot faster. I can't understand why they would use such an obtuse angle.
