To determine the suitable grinding angle for your knife, you can follow these steps:
1. As a general rule, kitchen knives of all qualities can be sharpened at a 20° angle.
2. However, certain knives, such as fine Damascus blades and knives made of high-quality carbon steel, can achieve an even keener sharpness with a 15° angle.
3. To test if your knife is suitable for a 15° angle, you can experimentally sharpen it with the 15° angle for three to five minutes.
4. If this does not achieve a satisfactory sharpness, then revert to the 20° grinding angle.
Please note that the condition of the blade and the quality of the steel can also affect the suitable grinding angle for your knife.
