Riga 115:
The edge is sharpened at different angles for different purposes. 15 to 25 degrees is a good all-around angle. Slicing knives should have sharper angles, down to ten degrees. Chopping knives need blunter angles, out to thirty degrees.
==
Knives are sharpened by grinding against a hard rough surface, typically [[Sharpening stone|stone]], or a soft surface with hard particles, such as sandpaper or a razor strap. The smaller the angle between the blade and stone, the sharper the knife will be, but the less side force is needed to bend the edge over or chip it off. Very sharp knives sharpen at 10 degrees. Typical knives sharpen at 15 degrees. Knives that require a tough edge (such as those that chop) sharpen at 20 degrees. For an extremely durable edge (such as a [[chisel]] or [[drawknife]]), blades can be sharpened to 30 degrees. In general, the harder the material to be cut the higher the angle of the edge. The composition of the stone affects the sharpness of the blade (finer grain produces sharper blades), as does the composition of the blade (some metals take/keep an edge better than others).
