Four Sharpening Angles and Uses

The 17-degree angle is a severe angle, which is recommended for razor blades, fillet knives, or similar tools. An extremely sharp but delicate edge. The 20-degree angle is a commonly used angle for higher-quality blades and provides an excellent edge for kitchen cutlery and slicing knives. The 25-degree angle is the recommended angle for most knives that need a durable, sharp edge. Ideal for hunting and outdoor knives. The 30-degree angle is an outstanding angle for knives that cut cardboard, rope, or carpets and it is best for heavy-duty use.

3 Diamond Hones

The Coarse to Fine diamond hones provide a good range of grits for edge care and maintenance. The Coarse Purple Hone (120 grit diamond) is perfect for edge reconditioning. The Medium Orange Hone (280 grit diamond) is for sharpening and less frequent touch-ups. The Fine Gold Hone (600 grit diamond) is apt for most frequent touch-ups to keep your blade paper-slicing sharp.
