What is the edge angle? (ex.) 20 degrees, 16?

According to the Amazon product description of the "Wusthof Precision Edge 4 Stage Knife Sharpener": The standard sharpener uses carbide blades set at 28 degrees or 14 degrees per side to sharpener[sic] your standard kitchen knives. Stage 2 of the standard side uses ceramic rods to hone a fine edge on your blade. Simply slide the cover over to Asian knives to sharpen your Asian knives to a 20 degree angle or 10 degrees per side". So if this one is the standard part of the above, the angle is 14 deg according to Amazon. On the booklet that came with it, Wusthof says "Designed to handle all new knives with PEtec edge". Various sources on the web claim that with PEtec marketing Wusthof has reduced their edge angle from the former 19 deg to 14 deg (per side). Other web sources claim (old) German knives are 22 deg per side. I took an aligned macro photograph and measured the ratio of the coarse carbide blade separation vs perpendicular height, and using trigonometry got 18.4 deg per side (est error: +/- 0.4 deg ). Same measurement on the fine ceramic rods got 18.5 deg. It is possible the angle changes slightly when one actually puts a knife in the slots and applies some pressure.

14 degrees confirmed by Wusthof. The Asian knives require a 10 degree angle sharpener, so this will not work for something like a Santuko.

I have 24" monitors. I use a 20 degree angle. You could do a 90 but you will lose a little bit of the screen real estate past 45

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

Yep, what everyone else said. It's supposed to be off to the side, but not too far away. I can't remember for certain what it listed for how far away to position it, but I want to say it was something like 20 inches.

I'm not sure. I use them for low voltage outdoor lights. I can say that the angle is fairly wide, so not 10 or 20 degrees.

It is a triangle 16 x 16 x 22.5, in other words the answer to your question is 22.5.

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.

I measured my sail at 16' from corner to corner as a straight line. Each side is the same length. Note that the edges bow in so the length along the curve is probably as advertised.

By what I can see, the angle is very close to 30 degrees (the angle of three points comes real close to 90).......certainly closer to 30 than 23 degrees. Maybe a little less than 30, but nowhere as small as 23.....hope this helps some.....best, Rick.

If you look closely in the center bottom of the kit picture you may see the blue edge tool and also see a silver metal file embedded in it. It will do the side edge only at 88 (or 2 deg) or 90 (0 deg). An 88 deg angle is typically an intermediate skill level & the 90 a beginners level. Thanks for writing.

it's not in a angle. It's straight. Then again the part i ordered was 8 feet but was bent bad in 2 spots. I had to make do with what was sent. Not to mention that it took over 2 months to get this product.

I had a slight, 10 degree angle on one of my gates. I put plastic wedges, available at most hardware stores, behind the latching hooks, to make the angle almost non-existent, and it works fine.

OK its recommended that you use 10 to 15 degree angle when sharpening these knives. I usually put 2 quarters between the back of the blade and the stone that will give you an idea of the correct angle

About 20-24" On Center. I say 20-24 because it is metal, so it can be bent.

I measured it. It is 2 and 1/4" from my desk top to the top edge of the backend of the platform. When my Dell laptop is sitting on it (with the lid CLOSED), it is 3.5" to the top of my laptop. The leading edge of the laptop (with the lid closed) is 1.5" above the desktop. That will give you the angle.

From the near edge of the opening to the end of the curve is 15/16". Hope that helps.

The angle is less than 45 but from receiver to end is 50 in. (24 1/4 to first connector). Enjoying this item, very strong, easy to use, best price. My primary use is for a 16 ft. canoe with 8 ft. beyond the extender.
