For hunting, souvenir and high-quality kitchen knives, it is advisable to sharpen at exactly the correct angle. This, firstly, allows the knife to keep sharpening and maintain its cutting qualities for a longer time compared to sharpening "by hand". Secondly, each subsequent sharpening "by hand" increases the bends of the cutting edge and its deviation from the original straight line. When sharpening at a consistent angle, the original straight line of the cutting edge is maintained. Thirdly, sharpening at a consistent angle preserves the attractive appearance of the knife ...
