The Fastest Way To A Sharp Edge - Work Sharp KEN ONION EDITION KNIFE & TOOL SHARPENER MK.2 User Manual

ANGLE CHANGES - WHAT TO EXPECT WITH A
DECREASED ANGLE
DURATION: If you are sharpening a knife to an angle lower than the factory grind
(ex.: factory 25° sharpening to a 15°), you should expect this process to take
longer. This is due to the amount of material being removed to "thin" the edge.
BEVEL HEIGHT: You should also expect the look of your edge to change if you are
decreasing the edge angle. The bevel (the area being sharpened) will become
taller as the edge angle is reduced and will create more surface area.
