I started sharpening this at 16.5 degrees with the 220# stones. I used an inclinometer to measure the actual angle since the Shapton stones are thicker than the stock Wicked Edge stones and give a more acute angle. The settings on the Wicked Edge sharpener for this knife are:
Angle – 21 Degrees
Depth – Top Holes
Alignment – B
Here is a picture after flattening the bevels out:
Zoom In – 230x
Approximately 90 strokes per side. Elapsed time: 1.5 minutes.
