K_sqrd Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Very nice knife. Zwilling makes quality knives and that one should last you a lifetime. Here is a link I found regarding the sharpening angle... https://www.zwilling.com/us/about-us/use-care/article-use-care-knife-sharpening.html Looks to be in the 9 to 12 degree range. You might be able to see if you have a double bevel on the blade by looking at it with a magnifying glass. Jack. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack. Posted August 15, 2021 Author Share Posted August 15, 2021 Many thanks @K_sqrd. I can set 9-10 degrees on the Wicked Edge pretty easily using a digital angle measuring tool. I'll get out the magnifying glass and see if I can determine a double bevel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the same could be same for the kamados we all own. Certainly high quality food can be produced on $59 grill from Lowes. But a quality grill certainly enhances the experience for me. And we can all appreciate how important our varied hobbies are– whether season tickets, cuban cigars, collecting fine wines, expensive scotches, cars, etc. Some of us like knives, oh and pens, of course. Fine pens are a must! Jack. and mike echo 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben S Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Very nice. If I had known I would have lent you a Kramer in AEB-L I am trying to sell. It’s a big 10 inch guy I picked up in a trade. Just not my cut of tea. Jack. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack. Posted August 15, 2021 Author Share Posted August 15, 2021 Thanks for the thought, Ben. I know you are much more interested in high-end Japanese knives. Yeah, a 10"er is a little too big for me, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
