EdgePro-ing the Inazuma Nakiri

[rotuts]

Ive finally decided to take the plunge and get the Inazuma Nakiri that several members have. Ive been after something like this for a while, and was hoping to get the same type of knife with a 2 " 'width' rather than the 1.77 " on this knife as I have a fairly large hand.

i have the EdgePro system and would like advice on the angle to use to sharpen this knife.

I sharpen my Granton edge and globals at 15 degrees, the red dot.

many thanks!

I think the nakiri has a 15* edge to start with. You could go lower with a 12 or even a 10* bevel. With the type of board work it will see I'd add a microbevel. Personally I would just refine the 15* edge it came with and add the microbevel and strop

thanks. the microbevel is a good idea. I forget this sometimes. Ill stick with the 15 for now as that what all the other knives ( i use ) have.
