Thanks for the feedback so far. I don't know the angle in degrees, but it is about as steep as I can get (for durability) while still getting it shave-sharp. I've found a flatter angle will not be noticably sharper, but will not last as long. I use a medium and fine Arkansas stone followed with a leather strop. I've just become accustomed to touching up edges in the evening on any day I used the knife. I didn't realise that this might not be the norm until the mora experience where it wasn't necessary. I know the Mora was not the same steel hence the question regarding pocket knives. I'll look into some of the recommendations given so far. thanks.
