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

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.

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.

Good product. Helps to find the angle, but quite expensive

I've always had trouble holding the perfectal angle when sharpening knives. This tool really trains you on holding the correct angle for fixing a knife's edge! It makes sharpening very easy and helps build muscle memory. The size fits well in a sharpening stone and even comes with a few rubber bands to help stay in the stone. Works very well and comes with a variety of angles. Great value!

These are useful to determine a blades exact angle, which improves sharpening, but I don't use them to actually guide the blade across the stone. This is because the system to afix a one of the angle wedges to a stone using rubber bands only works on a 1" or 1 1/2" (i think; double check the size of the angle wedges before ordering if you need tp be sure) single-sided stone. Anything wider and it's hard to get the wedge on. Also, i sharpen "backhand", i.e., rather than pushing the blade along the stone edge-first, as if shaving a strip off the stone, I pull the blade down the stone so that the spine, which is elevated off the stone, of course, leads and the cutting edge drags along the stone. I find this a much easier way to maintain the angle and make a smooth stroke. But these angle wedges can only be used for the traditional "forehand" sharpening method. For the price I still recommend purchasing this product if youre trying to improve your sharpening skills. It will help you to find the precise angle better than you can by sight alone. It just won't help much with maintaining that angle as you sharpen.

These angle guides are a lot better than ones I have previously had. The pyramid ones don't work well because there is a gap between the base and where the angled side is that can throw you off. These are easy to use and the rubber band they come with is pretty convenient. The rubber band stops them from slipping off of the stone. They are good quality and seem to be pretty durable. I started free hand sharpening about a year ago and have had difficulty finding an angle or knowing what a 17 or 20 degree angle might look like. These are perfect for that. They will not only give you the angle but will help you to be able to recognize these angles and hold them without guides in the future. I would definitely recommend if you are into free hand knife sharpening.

I was really impressed by these. The set includes every angle from 10 to 20 degrees, and you can stack them and hold them together with a rubber band to get angles greater than 20 degrees. You can also attach them to your bench stone with a rubber band to keep them in place to check the angle before every stroke. I got them at a very good price during a Black Friday sale. The same company also makes collars you can put on your honing rod or sharpening steel to set the angle for strokes. Once in a great while, you come across a company that really shines with the inventiveness and quality of its products. That is Wedgek.

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!

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.

Muy util y bien echo viene bien y ayuda a manter el angulo que necesitas a mi ha gustado mucho

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.
