What is the angle of the sharpening blades?

22.5 = 1/2 of a 45 degree angle. This is the correct angle for any sharpening.

The "fixed angle" is a bit misleading. There is a wide range of angles that you may position the sharpener. Great for any angle edge you might have.

One square for sharpening tool, 2 at 7/8", 1 at 1", 3 at 1.25", two at 1.75". Only my cleaver doesn't fix. The magnets holding the knives in placeare quite strong, so no fear of accidentally pulling one out without trying. It is one of the best kitchen tools I own, and I'm not a great cook.

From the hinge point to the tip of the blade is 3 3/4" of which 3 5/8" is sharpened. It is a single bevel blade.

Sorry John, I cannot answer that question. I have not tried to adjust the cutting angle. Next time I use it, I will try that though. Good luck!

The sharpened edge is 57mm long. There is another 10mm at the hinge end before you get to the handle.

My "sharpened area" on the blade is just under 8 inches (7 and 3/4+) - I suspect, but am not sure, that this is where the "8" in SP8 comes from.

I had no idea what we were referring to until I saw one other answer. There are 2 angles to be had with this sharpener as stated: 118 and 135.

Depends on the length of the blade. I have found similar results with long blades. The farther off at an angle you take the stone, the more the angle changes. I have good luck with the Lansky on my Kershaw Blur and various short folding knives. The short length of the blade and the curve on the blur make for a pretty consistent angle along the blade, but it does still change a little. For long knives like those I sharpen for the kitchen, you would have to move the sharpener along the blade and sharpen in sections. For these, I am using an Edge Pro knockoff. With no clamps, it makes re-positioning much quicker. I still like the Lansky for the shorter and more curved blades.

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.

I don't know angles, but it puts a nice working point on sketching pencils. I used it on Prismacolor pencils and I was perfectly satisfied. In fact, I love this little sharpener. I hope this is helpful. Have fun!

No the angle is wrong for Japanese knives. He should look for sharpeners that specify for Japanese knives.Good Luck!

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.

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.

What ever you do, don't use that on a shun knife. Shun knifes have an angle of 16 degrees. That sharpener is for german design knifes with a 22 degree angle. Either send them to a professional knife sharpener or to shun, they sharpen them for free. Or get yourself the Wicked Edge Knife Sharpener, its fool proof!!
