does anyone know what angle these knives are set to? 15 degrees? 20?

I believe that they are 15 degrees, but I am not 100 percent sure. These are great knives and so far have met every challenge I have put them to. They are very sharp and hold an edge great,cutting with almost no effort. They are definitely worth the money.

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

The blade is approximately 10 - 15 degrees from the handle's axis. These knives should be able to be sharpened with any standard sharpener, although due to the quality of the steel it is exceedingly unlikely that they would require sharpening before 10 or so years of regular use.

I couldn't tell the angle exactly but it is not 90. It doesn't turn that sharp. More like 110-120 degrees.

Hey Christine, Sorry but I won't be much help. I bought those knives for someone else. I'll ask them and see if they could let me know. Good Luck and Happy Holidays

MAC sells a sharpening tool for use on their knives and the website says 15 degrees.

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.

The 130 and 120 both use a 20 degree angle. The 1520 is both 15 and 20 degree angle.

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/

In fact, there is about a 15 degree offset permitted, horizontally. If you drill your own holes, these can be set to any thermally sensible angle.

20 degree blades. They are easy to refinish to 16 if you want. Personally, they seem to be great as is. They've held their edge beautifully for 6 months, no sharpening needed yet.

Knife sharpening and angles is something I've not quite got the hang of but research showed 15. I'll go with that but don't take it to the bank.

The angles are 22 degrees and the machine will automatically position your knife in that angle. I have a Shun knife and it works fine for me. I not only have the Chef's Choice for myself but have given it as gifts and everyone that I have given it to is very satisfied. Good luck!

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.

This sharpener only does a 20 degree angle. If you are looking for one that does both 15 and 20 degree angles I suggest you look at the Chefs Choice Model 1520 Angle Select Sharpener
