I kept ruining my knife edges without knowing why

Found out I was honing at the wrong angle. Adjusted to 20 degrees and now they stay sharp for DAYS. Saves me so much time.

Wait, you were sharpening at the wrong angle this whole time? Honestly, that's wild it made such a big difference. Props to @wyatt_foster84 for making people double-check the basics.

Yeah that angle makes a huge difference. I check mine with a marker on the edge now, helps me stay consistent. Good call from @wyatt_foster84 on questioning the usual advice.

My dad always told me 25 degrees was fine. Your 20 degree trick actually works way better.

Trust me, I question my own advice daily.
