Edge is around 18 degrees ( per side ) .. Hard to get an exact as the blade is - Warped / twisted / un evenly ground...

    Fire Forged - Branded Knife ( Pakistan ? ) Scandi

    Condor Terrasaur Part 2

    I spent 2 hours sharpening this knife ! First I took it FULL Scandi , then I refined the edge till it stopped rolling by stropping . ( A lot of work ) This is the best edge I can do on a scandi knife ! And the edge faded away at 300 slices .. This is very poor economy for a 2 hour...
