I just purchased a new Kershaw Zing knife. I like the knife and think it will be a great EDC for light to medium daily task. I have a Spyderco Sharpmaker which I use to sharpen my knives. What would the factory angle be on the Zing ?. Would I use the 30 deg. ( 15 deg. each side ) or the 40 deg. ( 20 deg. ) each side ?. I would like to get it as close to the factory angle as possible. I have other knives for heavier jobs and use the Zing for general letter opening,box and package opening etc.. Thanks for any info. or opinions that you have. David
 
David, use a sharpie and check the 40 inclusive setting first. I'd bet that's the closest to the factory bevel.

Thanks for the Welcome Mat. I will try the marker on the blade. I have been looking at the forums for a while and usually have found what I wanted without posting. I have some Benchmades,Spyderco and CRKT knives.The Zing was the first Kershaw I bought. I have been impressed with the Kershaw Quality and great models. There are several more models of Kershaws that I would like to have.I am intrested in the new 14C28N steel and how it is compares to other company knife steels in the same price range or composition. I have read a few reviews, and am sure there will be more later since this is a new steel for Sandvik and Kershaw.I think all of my knives will be Kershaw,as once again I'm impressed with the quality and price , David
