20-22.5 Degree Angle for German Type Knives
Usage of a ceramic honing steel is easy and effective, but it must be done correctly for the desired results to occur. It’s important that during honing, the hone is stroked with the knife angled at the same angle that it was sharpened during the manufacturing process. It’s a safe bet your German type knife has come from the factory with 20-22,5 degree edges.
~ 15 Degree Angle for Japanese Type Knives
Though every knife has its distinguishing hallmarks, in general, Japanese knives require the same honing process as their western counterparts, with the principle difference being the angle at which the blade must strike the hone. Tilts of 15 degrees produce optimal results for Japanese knives and make sure that your knife will continue cutting through fish, vegetables, and more for nights filled with food from the Land of the Rising Sun.
