The angles I mentioned are preset notches on an Edgepro Apex, Im pretty sure they represent the total. I will run different angles based on need but generally run a secondary edge on everything. Heavy choppers get 21/25 and are usually finished with a 220 grit stone, most hunting knives and pocket knives get 18/21 with either a 600 or 800grit, kitchen knives get 15/18 but they dont try chopping frozen chicken with edges that thin.

I will also vary the angle based on steel, brittle stuff usually gets a thicker edge while I will put S30V on a very fine edge to take advantage of its cutting and edge retention.

Hunt hard, kill clean, waste nothing and offer no apologies.
