they can be made to be ultra-sharp but tend to lose their edge rather quickly, requiring regular maintenance and resharpening. Resharpening should be easier than most other grind types, though, since there is a lot less material you’ll need to shave off to obtain a sharp edge. Those sup...
tested with more acute angles (20° edge is more acute than 50°) started out cutting better and remained that way through the standard 60 cuts. However, the measured width of the edge with the worn 20° edges was larger than with the 50°. So this leads to a question: which was ...
Lower angles produce a sharper edge while higher angles are stronger and resist chipping better. If you are unsure of what angle to use,20 degreesper side is almost always a safe bet, providing a good compromise between edge strength and cutting efficiency. Step 4: Set Your Bevel and Raise ...
It’s a drop point design for ease of sharpening, with 20-degree edge angles on a flat grind. The blade holds an edge quite nicely, and it sharpens easily. The handle is constructed from Zytel, a Dupont-made glass-reinforced nylon which is damn-near indestructible. What I really love ...
A study of multi-angles knife-edge method applied to digital modulation transfer function measurementThe objective of this study was to propose a newly-developed method to calculate digital modulation transfer function (DMTF) of digital image system which integrates with CCD/CMOS, non-linearity ...
Some professionals make their knives easier to use through such a self-finishing customization as semi-single edged, semi-double edged (like 70:30) or as special edged with different edge angles from the point to point. How to Sharpen Double-edged Knives In most cases, kitchen knives can suc...

Many handles range from 3.5- to 5-inches. Get a folding knife that locks out. It won’t close on your fingers during use, which makes it safer, and the stiffness of a locking blade lets you manipulate it at a variety of angles, like while whittling wood or opening a particularly tric...
with different edge angles: The edge angle can be relatively easy to change with sharpening. However, thickness behind the edge, the angle of the “primary bevel” behind the edge, and the shape of the edge can all affect the result. And different knife companies will heat treat steels to...
I’m a KME user lately, so some may call it cheating, but when you get into the 66-67 HRC range of some modern knives, it’s nice to have a guided system take care of the angles for you, while you knock off the dull steel from your folder. S30V isn’t the hardest steel out ...
