what angle do WH put on their knives

[Andy_L]

I've got a legacy with the ZDP core and 420outer layers. I'm just wondering what angle is used to start off with.

I don't know what WH aims for, however the exact angle used on each knife will be different, as they are rarely exactly jig ground. You can just measure it directly, or estimate it by taking a couple of light passes with a jig setting and watching where marker is abraded.

I think it's the William Henry knife seen here:

These things seem to be popular lately. Anyhow, it's not like you are faceting a diamond. Play around it with.
