My three blades were all different angles 55, 65 and 75 degrees and i haven't changed any of the angles from factory. Two are tandy one is ? The 55 being my favorite to use. Also noticed the point angle on my two 1/4" filigree was different also.

Members Klara Posted September 21, 2021 Members Report Posted September 21, 2021 I'm not sure I could see whether a blade is 55, 60, or 65 degrees - 30 degrees per side is good enough for me (I never neither the too nor the intention to measure precisely). What surprises me is another point of these instructions, and several videos: In the article from long ago the author insisted that sharpening is done in one direction only, namely as if one wanted to cut thin slices off the stone. My knife-making friend does the same thing, but it seems that's not all that important after all? Quote

I think even Paul Burnett had an article about decreasing and increasing the angle of the bevel to get different effects. WIde angles helped with beveling, narrow angles for tight spaces and decorative cuts... I'd leave em like that and use them where they work best!
