Knife / Blade Angle IS VERY IMPORTANT

Having a sharp knife or tool is essential to maximizing your performance and making your work easier and more efficient. But not all knives or tools are created equal, and each one requires a different blade angle to get the best results.

Let’s start with a Japanese sushi knife. These knives are known for their sharpness, and that’s because they’re sharpened at a steeper angle, around 16 to 18°. This gives them a sharp, precise edge that’s perfect for slicing delicate fish or other ingredients.

On the other hand, if you’re looking for a versatile kitchen knife that can handle a variety of tasks, you’ll want to sharpen it at a slightly shallower angle. An all-around kitchen knife, for example, should be sharpened at around 20°. This will give you a balanced edge that will cut vegetables, meat, and a variety meats and other materials with ease.

If you’re looking for a knife with a little more durability, you might consider a cleaver. Cleavers are designed for heavy-duty work, so they require a slightly thicker edge. A good angle for a cleaver is around 25 to 30°, which will give you plenty of metal behind the edge for added strength.

This principle applies to all sorts of knives and tools, from machetes to lawnmower blades to gardening tools. Whether you’re using a knife to cut food or a tool to maintain your lawn, the blade angle and edge angle are key to getting the best results.

That’s why it’s so important to use a professional knife sharpening service. With our experience and expertise, we can tailor the blade angle and edge angle to your specific needs, ensuring that your knives and tools perform at their best.
