AGM Angle Wedges for Sharpening Knives 10 to 20 degrees, Blue

Very simple tool to help with angles while sharpening on a whetstone. Would recommend for beginners. Quality is great, easy to use. Works exactly I thought and described.

These angle wedges are exact in their angle. Using a belt sander you can sharpen a near exact angle on knives, pocket knives and other cutting instruments. Easy to use. Excellent price. Very durable.

These guides are great for beginners to build muscle memory of angles. First things first - lots of questions about this - If you want your knife to be 15° or 20°, that is referring to the angle per side. So if you want to put a 20° blade on your knife, you should sharpen each side to 20° (total of 40°). These guides are well made. They are helpful for finding the angle you want, but they are not a crutch, they are a tool. Once you find your angle, you need to lock the wrist that is holding your knife to keep the angle through the push/pull. If you attach the guide to your stone with the rubber band, there is some feedback when you push the blade back to the start position and it slides nicely up onto the angle guide again. HOWEVER, these guides only securely attach with the rubber band across the stone (like a T, 90°). Most professionals suggest having a 45° angle of attack - meaning your blade is not perpendicular to the stone, but at a 45° angle to the long edge of the stone. The rubber band system doesn't let you securely affix the guide to the stone at 45°. This isn't a huge deal, just something to be aware of. As I mentioned, these are a tool to set your angle and build muscle memory. I put the guide at a 45° angle to the corner of the stone, line up my blade with the desired sharpening angle, and push the guide off the stone before sharpening. Remember, use long, steady strokes!

Prepare yourselves, dear aficionados of sharp things, for I bring tidings of the most hilarious, yet utterly indispensable tool for knife sharpening - the Wedgek AGM Angle Wedges in a vibrant, unmissable blue. These aren't just wedges; they're the comedic sidekicks to your sharpening adventures, ensuring your knives get that perfect edge while you laugh all the way to dinnertime. First off, let's talk about the color. Blue? It's like someone at Wedgek thought, "How can we make sharpening knives fun?" and then painted these wedges in a shade that screams, "Look at me, I'm here to save your kitchen!" They're so vivid, you could find them in the middle of a blackout, which is perfect because, let’s face it, knife sharpening can be a dark art. The angles - oh, the angles! These wedges come with a range from 10 to 20 degrees, which means whether you're dealing with a delicate sushi knife or a robust chef's knife, you've got the precision of a surgeon with none of the seriousness. It's like having a Swiss Army knife, but instead of blades, you've got angles, and instead of utility, you've got hilarity. Now, let's dive into how these have changed my life. Before these wedges, I was that person who sharpened knives by feel - which is to say, my knives were either too dull or accidentally turned into razors. But with these blue beauties, I've become the Mozart of knife edges. They ensure consistency like no other, turning my kitchen into a symphony of slicing and dicing with every stroke. The comedic part? Watching my friends try to use them for the first time. They go from skeptics to believers faster than you can say "sharp." There's something inherently funny about watching someone try to balance a knife on what looks like a colorful doorstop, only to achieve a blade so sharp it could slice through tension at a family reunion. And the best part? They're a must-have for any knife sharpener, whether you're a professional chef or just someone who likes their bread not to crumble into a thousand pieces. These wedges take the guesswork out of sharpening, which means more time enjoying your perfectly cut tomatoes and less time questioning your life choices. In conclusion, if you want to add a dash of humor to your sharpening routine while ensuring your knives are sharper than your wit, these Wedgek AGM Angle Wedges are not just tools; they're the comedians of your kitchen. Just remember, with great sharpness comes great responsibility - and great laughter.

Great for helping you find an angle to sharpen at, but I’ve found that they will scratch your blade

These are the perfect tool to help get you started sharpening knives on a whetstone. The angle guides work exactly how they are shown. I’d give these 6 stars if they came with two 20 degree and two 15 degree wedges so I could put them on each side of my stone. Awesome product.

This is a super-quick way to adjust your angle guide on a sharpener. Before, I used a digital angle finder. I had to turn it on, zero it, hold it just right, read the display, and adjust the angle guide without moving the angle finder. With these, I slip the one I want behind the guide, and adjust the angle guide so it touches the plastic wedge all the way down. Ta-da! Done.

My freehand sharpening was off by quite a bit when aiming for a 17-20 degree angle. All my knives are now super sharp. A good teaching tool for critical angles when knife sharpening.

I use a variety of leatherworking knives that need different sharpening angles, so it's hard to get the muscle memory right. I use these at the start of the whetstone so that when i start a stroke of the knife and return back to the origin, i can ensure my angle is precise. It works well

Para alguien que se inicia en el afilado manual de cuchillos y navajas es una excelente herramienta; hay opciones más baratas; pero que tengas 11 ángulos distintos por el precio de este producto, sale más económico y el tamaño de las cuñas puede usarse hasta en los rods o chairas triangulares de cerámica y resultan bastante útiles. Contento con la compra.

Ich habe, nachdem ich angefangen habe mein Messer selbst zu schleifen, schnell gemerkt, dass es schwierige ist den immer gleichen Winkel zu finden. Gerade nachdem ich den Stein, die Hand oder das Messer gewechselt habe, habe ich die Winkel nicht richtig getroffen. In diversen Foren wird oft das Anfertigen eines Holzkeils empfohlen, jedoch besitze ich hierzu weder das Werkzeug noch den Platz. Deswegen war ich froh als ich dieses Produkt gefunden habe und bin damit auch zufrieden. Ich nutze es auch für Messer mit einer Klingenhöhe > 4 cm und habe damit keine Probleme. Da ich lernen möchte Freihand zu schleifen, befestige ich den entsprechenden Keil auf einem kleinen Stück holz, lege mein Messer darauf um den Winkel zu finden, halte den Winkel und wechsele danach auf den Schleifstein. Während des Schleifens überprüfe ich den Winkel mehrmals, indem ich das Messer auf den Winkel legen. Mit diesem vorgehen sind meine Schleifergebnisse schon etwas besser geworden. Es muss jedoch beachtet werden, dass die aufgedruckten Winkel nicht die angeschliffen Winkel sind, sondern, je nach Dicke des Klingenrückens, noch ein paar Grad dazu gerechnet werden müssen. Das ist für mich jedoch nicht wichtig, da ich nur einen konstanten Winkel halten möchte. Mehr Informationen dazu findet man auf der Website des Herstellers.

Après des années d'aiguisage sur différents couteaux et différentes pierres (du 300 au 8000), j'ai perfectionné ma technique "à la main" et mes tranchants sont maintenant très bons. Néanmoins, et c'est plus une question d'esthétique, mais mes tranchants finissent toujours par devenir légèrement convexes ce qui fonctionne tout aussi bien mais donne un look un peu plus "artisanal" à mes couteaux. Avec ces petits trucs tout simples, j'arrive à faire des tranchants très net et très anguleux qui ressemblent vraiment à un aiguissage industriel haut de gamme. J'aime beaucoup le look "comme neuf" qu'ils me permettent d'obtenir. (Par contre, attention à protéger la lame (avec du scotch par exemple) car la boue des pierres peut s'accumuler sur le guide et finir par modifier/polir/rayer la finition du flanc de vos couteaux pendant la session d'aiguissage.)
