Bisch, I presume along with you that it is 38 degrees total.  Also, those are round wheels, not flat carbide cutters.  There is some amount of "hollow grind" going on there at the very edge.

I don't know why I didn't try one of these before. My nephew has worked at Rada for years. I have one coming now!

DarkTimber is right on. It does produce a very slight double bevel, but as he says, does nothing to negate the desired effect of a single bevel. And as Pat says, it doesn't take a lot of pressure.

I've tried them and they work, I have drawers full of them and knives. Rada is only ten minutes away!

Great video. Have always been impressed by the Simmons blood trail pictures on this website. Just figured they would be a real pain to sharpen. After watching your video, I might have to give it a try.

I received mine today and did some work on kitchen & pocket knives and WOW they are sharp!  I'll hit the broadheads right before turkey season.  Thanks for the video Daniel.

Just finished an old Razorhead. Took about 20 seconds and perhaps ten strokes per edge. Won't be using a file ever again. And for those skeptics out there, you owe it to yourselves to give this badass sharpener a try. Even if you still don't like it you'll only be out about $7 or $8.
