Standard Angles

[Corwyn]

As I always forget what angles to use and reprofile stuff more often than I should, I was thinking we could make a list of the nicest angles you guys are using, on the most common knives:

Victorinox/Wenger: 20

Victorinox 111 mm wedge: 20

Victorinox 58 mm: 20

Opinel: 15

Mora: 30

Spyderco: 15

Leatherman: 15

Kershaw: 20

This is what I "think" I use. What about you guys?

Note: I mean whetstone angle, so half of cutting angle.

I tend to go 20 on most of my knives.  15 on smaller blades that I want a little extra sharper, and 30 on something that will see a bit more than normal use/abuse.

I freehand sharpen my knives. I put a 20 to 30 degree angle on them, I suppose. I try and mirror the factory angle as much as possible, but that's usually gone after 4 or 5 sharpenings. Most of what I use is a grey Norton stone, one of those diamond rod sharpeners when I want to aggressively remove material, and one of those puck sharpeners on my machete and hatchet.
