should the sharpener angle be15,20 or 30 degrees to sharpen it?

I think it's 15 each side. I tend to use a steel a lot and it works on this steel. I could buy 4 of these for one of even the cheaper luxury knives, one of which I own, and I use this knife.

American Test Kitchen said, in the latest review video, that this Fibrox uses 15 (oriental slant) from the factory.

The 40, 50, and 65 degree angle guides on the original Knife & Tool Sharpener refer to the total angle (20, 25 and 32.5 degrees per side). The Ken Onion Edition equivalent would be 30-70 degrees.

The guide is variable. There are no set angles. You end up adjusting the guide to the angle of the blade you are sharpening. I wish it had set angles, but once you get used to the setup, it works very well. Not really something you setup and use for the first time perfectly. Takes some fiddling and learning.

The picture the they show on there site has a dead on accurate picture of the item. I do not know the angle but I know that the knives I have my husband uses a regular knife sharpener on them and they work great. I believe they have a tapered grind edge I think that is what my husband called it.

No, the angle cannot be adjusted, and I think this one is set for a 20 American knife angle. The same company does sell sharpeners for the Asian knives, I think.

variable.. advise you set your own angle. the hardening of the edge is good enough to manage a 20 edge in most chopping work.

The short answer is yes. A straight razor, scalples, etc. need a very low sharpening angle. The lowest angle guide that comes with the Work Sharp is 20 degrees, but you you can easily hold you blade a lower angle to get the 17 dgrees (or whatever) angle you want for your razor.

American and European are the same thing-20 degrees. They are both sharpened in the same slot. Asian has its own slot and the third is for finishing both types of blades

Either stand it straight up and just angle the knife to the angle you desire and just keep it slow and consistent, or lay it flat and find the angle you desire and keep that consistent. Start with sharpening your blade with the point of the stone first (20 passing on each side of blade) then use the flat part of the stone (also 20 passes with each side of the blade)

It really depends on placement of knife and blade width. Using a magic marker on the bevel edge you can adjust it to achieve needed angle. The knives I just recently did for my mom required matching 15 degree bevel and with very little adjust had no issues achieving this. Syderco and a few other knives useing thinner blades due to type metal also require about 15 degrees snd currently have had no issues with sharpening them.

When I used my Lansky sharpening system on this knife I found the edge to be unevenly ground. One side of the blade was roughly 30 degrees and the other 25 degrees.I chose not to re-cut the edges and sharpened it at those angles. The blade took a very nice edge and has held its sharpness with moderate use.

They are fixed at a 46 degree sharpening angle (23 degrees per side). See the blog @ http://www.edgeexperts.com/2010/12/21/2-step-knife-sharpener-sharpening-big-game-hunting-knives/

You determine the angle by adjusting the arm up and down. I think one off the angles is like 10 degrees. I personal hollow ground a meat knife and then sharpened it with the unit and I think my new angle was around 15 degrees. this unit is by far the best sharpening method I have found.

The angle is not @ 20. I believe it it 22.5. I spoke to Lansky directly. It will change the angle of your blade if used as a primary sharpener. As a touch up sharpener in the field then not an issue. However, you would need to reset the blade angle with your primary sharpener. I use the Spyderco triangle sharpmaker. Excellent.

My knives are especially sharp after using mine. If you have used another sharpener that perhaps put a different angle on the blade, you're going to have to run them through the course side a number of times (maybe 50 or do on each side) to get the angle correct. Then 10 or more on each side of the fine stone.

Not sure about the edge angle, but Amazon offers several sharpeners for ceramic knives. Check out the battery operated one by Kyocera, which will sharpen the knife to a 35 degree angle.

It's in the description. Edge Angle: 15 degrees; Steel: 1095 cro-vanNeeded sharpening when I got it but it holds an edge well and is a juggernaut of a bush knife.
