Kimbo is suitable for most straight-edge knives commonly used in the kitchen and around the home. This includes
chef’s knives, kitchen knives, cleavers, hunting knives with smooth edges, and folding knives with smooth blades.
Kimbo is not designed for serrated knives, such as bread knives, or for scissors, as these require different sharpening
methods and may damage the sharpening surface.
Kimbo supports 15 & 20 Degree angles.
A 15° sharpening angle creates a finer, sharper edge that is ideal for precision cutting and delicate slicing. A narrower angle can wear faster on softer steels and may require more frequent touch-ups.
A 20° angle produces a stronger, more durable edge that is
better suited to everyday cooking and heavier use. Western-style knives, which are typically made from softer steel, generally perform better at 20°, while harder steels can hold a 15° edge for longer.
Choosing the right angle depends on how you use your knife: for general cooking, durability, and longer edge retention, 20° is the best all-round choice for most kitchens,
while 15° is ideal for those who prioritise razor-sharp performance and precision. If you are unsure, starting with 20° is recommended, as it offers the most versatility and forgiveness.
