Hey y’all. I have a pro pack 1, I got it early this year and have sharpened 10 or so knives thus far. I am extremely happy with the results so far! I was wondering if there was a list or something that the factory blade angles on knives were located… I have a Benchmade Grizzly Ridge that I want to sharpen but not really reprofile… But I cant seem to find the angle listed anywhere… Any help would be greatly appreciated! I also sometimes stream myself sharpening knives live on Twitch! https://www.twitch.tv/Caleb_isyourman
Welcome Caleb!
Despite what some knife manufacturers may lead you to believe, the angles on most production knives vary quite a bit from one example to another even of the exact same model. The best way to find the angles on your knife is to use a the sharpie method. The two sides of the existing bevel might not even have matching angles.
Welcome Caleb! The sharpie method works great but when I first got my new Henckels last Christmas, I gave them a call and they straightened me out and yeah, they were in the ballpark but not exact. Did the same with my Buck knife.
