Yojimbo 2 edge angle? Anyone know?

Picked up a second Yojimbo 2 for wifey. Mine's nicely loosened up/broken in, and I've sharpened it.

However, my Work Sharp Guided Sharpening System only has guides going down to 17 DPS. So mine is now sharpened at a decidedly steeper angle than the original edge. Once I have the need, assuming I have the need, to sharpen hers, I thought I'd try to match the factory angle somehow.

Anyone know what that may be? I believe Spyderco aims for 15 DPS, but looking at the bevel length and testing its slicing with the factory edge vs my reprofiled one, I can't believe there's only a 2 DPS difference.

Thanks!
 
I measure the factory edge at approx. 33 degrees inclusive:
