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?
Most likely your chef’s knives won’t get to their full width right away, so you can get enough of blade into the device to get a good reading. I use the laser goniometer occasionally, especially as a tool to examine the quality of the edge before sharpening, but usually just use the marker technique to find the angle. Combining an angle cube with the marker technique is a very fast and effective way to determine the bevel angles.
