Knife sharpening question.

Shiz-Nit · Feb 24, 2015

I have a edge ware adjustable angle sharpener and wanted to sharpen my Victorinox brisket slicer and boning knife.
I looked on their website but did not see as to what degree on a sharpening angle they should be sharpened at. Does anyone know?

Seems like some people say Victorinox are 15 degree knives while most think they are 20 degree. I think that if you chose either or went in between like 17 you would be fine.

I don't know what angle the factory put on it but 15* or 20* is a good angle (per side) for kitchen knives.

Use a 20° edge setting. The steel in a Victorinox is not good enough to hold a more acute angle and will dull faster.

You could always check it. Run a Sharpie across the edge of the balde and make a mark. Use the sharpener at one angle for one light pass over a small part at the back of the blade. Stop. Examine the edge with the mark under magnification and see if the stroke was too shallow or too steep. Adjust accordingly.

^^^^^This, and victorinox steel is too brittle to have a fine edge, it will chip.

I think I have my edge pro at the 21 marking and now do all my knives there. very repeatable, strong edge with a variety of metals. The characteristics of the blade thickness stand out.
