What it is for
See the angle you hold
On a whetstone, the angle comes from your hand. Set the gauge to zero on the stone, rest it on the blade, and the screen shows the angle you are holding. Tilt until it reads the angle you want, then sharpen.

Description
Description
The hard part of sharpening by hand is the angle. This small digital gauge shows it. Set it to zero on your whetstone, rest it on the blade, and the screen shows the angle you are holding the knife at.
Its magnetic base sits on the flat of a steel blade or on the guide of a fixed-angle sharpener. The backlit screen reads to two decimal places, and a hold button keeps the reading on screen while you look.
In the box: one digital angle gauge. Batteries are not included.
Good to know: it measures, it does not sharpen. Use it with a whetstone or a fixed-angle sharpener. Our rolling sharpeners hold the angle for you and do not need it.

How to use
How to use
1. Fit the batteries and switch the gauge on.
2. Put the gauge on the surface you sharpen on, for example your whetstone, and press zero. The screen now reads 0.00°.
3. Hold the knife on the stone at your sharpening angle and rest the gauge on the flat of the blade, near the spine. The magnets keep it in place.
4. Read the angle. Tilt the blade until the screen shows the angle you want, for example 20°.
5. Press hold to keep the reading on screen if you cannot see it while you work.
6. On a fixed-angle sharpener, rest the gauge on the guide rod or the blade to check the setting before you start.
Remove the gauge before you start sharpening, and switch it off after use.

Good to know
Where it helps
It suits whetstones and fixed-angle sharpeners, where you set or hold the angle yourself. Our rolling sharpeners hold the angle for you, so they do not need it.
What is it for?
It shows the angle of your blade while you sharpen, so you can hold the same angle on every stroke. It is most useful on a whetstone or a fixed-angle sharpener.
How do I use it with a whetstone?
Put it on the stone and press zero. Then rest it on the flat of the blade, near the spine, and tilt the knife until the screen shows your angle, for example 20°.
Does it stick to the knife?
Yes. Its base is magnetic, so it sits on the flat of a steel blade or on the steel guide of a fixed-angle sharpener. It does not hold on ceramic knives.
Are batteries included?
No. It runs on two AAA batteries, which are not included.
Do I need it with a rolling sharpener?
No. A rolling sharpener's magnetic block already holds the blade at a set angle.
What about delivery and returns?
Delivery is free in the UK and takes 7 to 10 working days. If you change your mind, you have 30 days to send it back unused, and it comes with a 2-year guarantee.
