What Angle Should You Sharpen Blades At?
The angle you use to sharpen your blades can alter their performance. There’s no single angle that will be the ideal angle for every blade. The ideal angle is largely determined by three major factors: the use of the blade, the hardness of the steel, and the blade thickness.
Angles for sharpening can range from 10 degrees to over 30 degrees. Generally speaking, higher angles are used to sharpen blades that cut through tougher materials while lower angles are used to sharpen blades that cut through softer materials. We’ve dedicated an entire blog post to the topic of thebest angles for knife sharpening where you can learn more about popular angles and the types of knives they’re used for.
