RSK Mk1-G2 Grind Angle

Over the weekend my dear wife completely surprised me with a birthday gifted Doug Ritter RSK® Mk1-G2 full size orange handle knife. I'd only seen one other in person. I am stunned by the beauty of the handle texture, and holy crap that thing is sharp!!

QUESTION: Does anyone know the RSK Mk1-G2 blade grind angle?

It's usually listed in Doug's product descriptions, but I don't see it for this lovely newish knife.

Nice!

You wife is a keeper, IMHO. The edge is hand sharpened to 34-40 degrees inclusive (17 - 20 degrees per side). It is really sharp from the factory. Sometimes I think we should include band-aids given how many new owners cut themselves. :=)

Enjoy!

The first knife my wife ever gave me was the original RSK Mk1. She's a keeper too .

I've probably mentioned this here before, but back in 2012 my amazing wife gave me a Doug Ritter RSK Mk2 Perseverance (#254) for Father's Day. I didn't have the heart to tell her that I'd already purchased one (#013).

So now I am the proud owner of two of them. I have two kids, so that only makes sense ... doesn't it??

Doug, are you by chance working on developing my wife's next gift???

Oh, I should also ask ... I used a Spyderco Sharpmaker for knife sharpening. It offers a choice of 20 degrees or 15 degrees, per side. Do you have a suggestion on which I should use for the Mk1-G2 full size? I lean toward the 15 degree - what I used for the first generation Mk1 knives.

I use a Sharpmaker at 20 degrees (mine is very old and is marked 40deg for the edge and 30deg for back bevel). I'm very happy with the results.

Thanks for your insight! Stay healthy!!!!
