What is the blade angle on this knife?

I am not sure what that means. This might answer your question: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXZLHWSkioY

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.

That really depends on how you measure the "length" of the blade. As you can see, it is not a straight edge from tip to hilt along the cutting edge. If you measure from the tip to where the edge stops near the handle in a straight line, it's very close to 3 1/4 inches. If you measure along the spine of the knife from the tip to where it meets the handle, it's closer to 3 3/8 inches.

I couldn't tell you about the angles. It is a double bevel grind. I can say that this knife is awesome. It can take a beating and you can sharpen it however you like. If you want to try customizing your knife by changing the profile or grind or even the scales this is a great knife to try with as it is very inexpensive but you'll still want to use it because it's a great knife/tool.

Hello, I'm not familiar with the angles of the sharpener, but it does have multiple angles. This is a sharpener I bought for my father so I don't have it here with me. I have the older version and was so impressed with my sharpener that I bought one for him, though I like my older one better. In a day and time with so many things I buy and say "Poor quality, junk", I did say I like this item. Why is everything made in China and when are we going to get back 'American made'. This probably doesn't answer your question but it is a nice sharpener for the money. Thanks for the chance to rant and rave...Bring back 'American' !

Sorry. Not sure. Loved the knife until the handle fell off after about 3 months!

The small picture with the knife on a 45 degree angle is pretty accurate, but when you click on it and get the zoomed-in image of the horizontal knife - that one does have a taller grind than mine, definitely - just an odd photo I think.

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.

I use an ultimate oil sharpening system from sharpening supplies. Com. My leek is my last favorite knife, I'm not sure if I got a funky one or what is deal is. It appears as though there is a dual angle beveled edge on the blade. I have been trying to figure it out but half way up the blade it changes angle. I use it as a letter opener now. I'm probably not much help when it comes to this knife. I bought a Kershaw salvo for$10 on ebay that I use daily and feel its a way better knife.

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!

Measured on my knife: From the front of the handle to the tip of the blade is 3 3/8 inches. Actual cutting edge is 3 inches. This is a fairly heavy blade, about 1/8 inch thick at the base. The weight makes it very easy to open one handed, by a slight push out with the thumb, then a quick flick of the wrist.

The blade pivots to 90 degrees. My experience is that to cut stuff that is high off the ground it is best to use a tall step ladder and keep the blade at a lesser angle.

the tip of the blade is a stright angle cut. there is a slight curve to the over-all blade.

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.

Are you serious Merry? Turn knife over and look at the finger groove on the bottom; it has a serrated look and feel (it is curved inward towards the knife handle. If your knife is open then this serrated bar will look crooked at an angle. Push it back towards the side of the knife handle until it is straight. This will free the blade which you close with the other hand. Don't cut yourself please!

No idea - only thing I can think of is referring to the fact that it is serrated and has a slight curve to the blade. Otherwise the knife is excellent and very sharp

The angle is adjustable to three different positions. Lowest angle is for thin knives like a fillet, and the highest angle is for things like cleavers. However, there is nothing to prevent you from sharpening a cleaver to the angle normally used for a fillet knife. I work in the medical device industry where we sharpen surgical needles. I inspected the sharpened edge using a 10x eye loupe, and the results are fantastic. A little bit of micro serrations on the edge creates a very sharp cutting surface. I have sharpened knives for many friends and they were all amazed at the quality and sharpness of their knives.

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.
