What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The listing calls the bevel angle 23 degrees, while the customer feedback reports a precision concern and notes a 22-degree cutting edge. The manufacturer also describes a standard 90° sharpener alongside a second carbide stone for finer sharpening. These angle references are not clearly reconciled, so check the intended sharpening geometry if angle precision matters. The listed weight is 0.47 grams and may warrant confirmation.
