I recently bought two Wusthof knives: one chef knife and one paring knife.
According to Wusthof's website (https://www.wusthof.com/support/faq), their sharpening angle is 14˚ per side.
With that in mind:
- Can I use the 30˚ degrees configuration on my Sharpmaker to sharpen these knives? Is this going to actually damage the blade? It's a 2˚ angle but I'm not sure if this is a big difference or not;
- People told me to buy a honing steel, but can I use my Sharpmark as a honing steel? If yes, how? I have the grey rods and white rods that come with it.
