What angle do you guys sharpen your Gene Ingram knives to? Do you sharpen your other custom handmade knives to the same angle? Thanks!

That Cinch is a man and bold enough to admit lack
of a Manly Man skill.
Girlyhunter, isn't.
Truly bold.
Or,
A real Manly Man.
Just a macho blow hard trying to impress.
That's ok.

To keep them safe. Agreed, knowing how to do simple tasks isn't something we should expect of men today. Why do it when someone else can. Viva the snowflake.

I touch up my Ingrams with a spyderco sharpmaker on the 20 degree setting and have no issue whatsoever. Just dont let them get dull as hell to start with.
When mine quit shaving hair I put them on the fine stones.

What angle do you guys sharpen your Gene Ingram knives to? Do you sharpen your other custom handmade knives to the same angle? Thanks! Depends on the steel, grind and profile...
You can no more tell someone how to do something you've never done, than you can come back from somewhere you've never been...

Gene usually uses 17* on a Lanskey... I’m kind of surprised that he uses a Lansky. I guess he’s got it figured out. His knives definitely show up ready for work. I use the sharpmaker for touch-ups also. Life is much easier if you can stick to touch ups and not let them get dull.
