Question about the CATRA Laser Goniometer. It gives specs of measuring knives up to 1.7″. I have chef’s knives with 2″ wide blades. Is there any way of using the goniometer to measure such blades, i.e. some sort of work-a-round?

Grinder…?

You could try taking a band saw and cutting out the ring between the ±5° marks, but you’d have to make sure the ring didn’t change dimension.

The Angle Cube can give the angle of the final edge of a knive you’ve just sharpened, but the goni might be better at finding the approximate angle on a knife edge that you haven’t sharpened yet.
The Hobbigoni is ±2°, and the uplevel Portable is ±1°, but the cost is 4x+ (too much for my blood) the Cube and the Cube has better precision and accuracy.
