Hi guys
Im having some trouble choosing the correct angle or perfect angle to sharpen my Para using the Lansky system.
Can someone please assist me.
Thanks
 
I use a Sharpmaker for my Paras & Millies. I do all of them at the 30 deg incl. setting. That's always been fine for my uses and every one I've had is slightly under that angle so the 30 deg setting works well with no rebeveling required.
 
Lowest. Always. Reprofile it.

If you want to match factory angle then maybe the 20 degree setting. Where you clamp makes a difference though.
 
Anywhere...just remember where you clamped it. Use a bit of tape to stop scratching too.
 
Use the 20 degree slots on your Lansky, it will match up just about perfectly to the factory edge.
