Professional Model Pivot Angle Guidelines. Find Out Which Angle is Best for Your Sharpening Needs
Angle Guidlines
We recommend that you sharpen most knives at 21 degrees on our knife sharpening systems for a good balance of sharpness and durability. Of course, there are exceptions. Generally speaking- thin knives used for delicate work should be sharpened at a lower angle (17 – 19 degrees). Thicker blades used for heavy duty work and chopping should be sharpened at a higher knife blade angle (23-25 degrees) sometimes higher. Read more about specific sharpening angle guidelines when using our professional knife sharpener kits below.
