how do i know which knife needs a 30 degree angle or a 40 degree angl?

[cutlerylover]

mostly by the type of knife...I eman any knife cna have any angle but generally speaking some knives will have a wider angle such as big heavy huntign knives and thick blades, where as kitchen cutlery will have a thinner edge, its also listed in the manual with the sharpmeker, a chart for which type of knives shoudl be sharpened at which angle...

Hey man,

I believe in the results of old fashioned steel rods like I posted before to the ceramic rod video you posted. Watch this: Sharp Knife 1 - Heckler & Koch Drop Point X-15-T.N.

Just a cheap knife with a rehoned blade using a steel rod for about 5 bugs... Waiting for your comment :)

[cutlerylover]

nice vid, yeah you cna take almost any cheap knife and out a little effort into it and make it sharp, the dsifference between a cheap knife and an expensive one most of the time is that the expensive knife will last longer with use and the blade will stay sharper longer...with qwuaoity your also getting more reliable locks and beter materials...but it looks like you did a good job sharpening that!

[himoroyden]

Well, the knife is not that cheap but a cheaper one. In cause of holding edge I like the S30V and M2 tool steel, even the 440C. With the liners or other locking mechanisms you are right. In this case I won´t stab anytime because the liner is just a 0.8mm steel sheet. For stabing I would use my extrema ratio fulcrum II - but I never stab anything at all! Anyway - I could do it with that N690 massiv back locking blade!

[cutlerylover]

Yeah there is alwasy a balance steels like S30V, M2, D2, VG10, ZDP189...they all have great edge retention but at the cost of being hard to sharpen, it all depends on what the use is...its not always best to have a super steel for your knife, it depends what you do with your knife...

[cliffrex]

@shibdiby thanks 

[shibdiby]

@a23d23 I'm not Jeff, but I can try and help. It depends what you would like to use the knife for. If you plan on using the knife for hard work ( like camping tasks, hunting ect) I would say 40, because otherwise you will dull it down, or run the risk of chipping your edge out, because it is so thin. However, if you plan on using your knife for very light work ( do people actually use Kabars for light work?) you want a 30, because it will be razor sharp, but not hold an edge very long under use

[a23d23]

which angle should i use to sharpen a kabar thanks in advance

[kertcobainSA]

why does the doorbell ring in like every single video??????

[Troop66Guide]

how do u like this sharpener, next month i want to get a new knife sharpener and idk if i should get this or the kme knife sharpener, i like the kme cuz u dont have to hold the knife and it seems like with this sharpener when u move the blade it would change the angle very slightly cuz as u get closer to the tip the edge is closer to the pivot so the angle would be wider where at the base it would be more narrow, just wonderin what u think
