11°-23° and 24°-43° Combined, X-Large Angle Guides for Sharpening on Stone, Model LR5 by AngleGuide

I was able to get it razor sharp at a 20 degree angle. This has tremendously helped me keep the angle exact. I highly recommend everyone who sharpens knifes gets one of these. I was also able to get my machete to the correct angle for chopping/slicing. My pocket knife was able to cut paper like butter, zig zag like in the picture, it cut so easily!

Does what they are designed to do. Large face for easy referencing. Only thing I will complain about is the angles. Goes down to 12? I believe but only goes up to 23. 25 is a very common angle for pocket and working knives. I would've rather went up to 30 then down to 12

It’s undeniable that the angle accuracy is one of the key factors in successful free hand sharpening and maintenance of knives. Regardless of someone’s experience, the Wedgek LR5 is a fantastic tool and addition to one’s sharpening kit. In the hands of an expert, it will confirm that their muscle memory is top notch (maybe...), but for a beginner, it is absolutely essential. That being said, it's very rare, but some products exceed the buyer’s expectations, and this one is one of them. Its beauty lies in its simple concept, but the execution is excellent, and the design details make it outstanding. Especially the anti-slip rubber feet allow for adjustments of +/- 1°, adding even more flexibility to the kit (so the description not mentioning 10° is incorrect; I’ve just successfully sharpened my Wusthof Santoku, which leaves the factory with a 2x10° edge). Because some comments come from users who are not sure how they are supposed to use it, no, you don’t glue the wedges to the knife, nor do you drag them along with the knife on the sharpening stone. The wedges, with or without the stands, spacers etc. are a high-precision tool that provides a starting point with the knife in the sharpener’s hands at the correct angle. The rest requires good muscle coordination (do not get discouraged, not necessarily spectacular muscle memory, since the wedges are designed to exactly help with that part), and a sense of how to sharpen hard metal. In conclusion, it’s not a quick fix, but it’s an excellent aid for anyone who enjoys sharpening their knives and other tools with free hands. Last but not least, in addition to the completeness of the kit, it comes with excellent instructions (not always the case these days), which I highly recommend reading as they explain various details that will allow you to fully utilize the kit. Thus the 6 stars of the title :)

These allow for ease to find the proper angle to just about any knife. I use them every time I go to sharpen my knife on a wet stone. It allows for you develop muscle memory over time. They are durable and easy to use. The instructions are clear and has pictures to illustrate proper use. I definitely recommend this product even for a more advanced user all the way to a novice user.

You would think they would have a 15 degree in the kit since that is the standard for most Japanese knives. They don't.

“These angle blocks are fantastic for anyone into knife sharpening. They help you keep a consistent angle and make the learning process so much easier. You’ll definitely be glad you picked them up!”

Different knives need different angles for the best performance. This little thingy is useful for knife sharpening, gives me an idea of what the right angle should be. I will not use it with wet sharpening stones though, as it is a plastic piece and probably would not last.

Makes it easy to check sharpening angles and adjust guides for knives on my belt sanders
