Spyderco ZDP-189 angle???

[realitycheck]

Hey guys I needed to sharpen my stretch 2 so I just decided to reprofile it. To even up everything. So I figured with the blade being so thin 15 degrees on each side would probably make this knife a great slicer.
Is this angle okay for this spyderco steel? Or is it too thin? Its on a Stretch 2.
I figured it was hard enough to take this angle, did I just screw up my knife.
Thanks for the help guys.

15 degrees (per side) is just fine. :thumbup:

You didn't screw your knife up at all.

15 degree per side is not thin but average angle. It works perfect for me on ZDP189 knives. Also I think this is what Spydeco usually do.

Thanks, Vassili.

Thanks guys. Now I just need to finish it. Even with the DMT course stone, this stuff is really hard.

To reprofile ZDP-189, you are much better off using the diamond sticks if you are using a Sharpmaker. As already 15 degrees is fine.
