Abstract: A knife may include a blade having first and second blade ends. A blade point may be disposed at the second blade end. A spine may be disposed between the first blade end and the second blade end. A cutting edge may oppose the spine. A primary bevel may be disposed between the spine and the cutting edge. A secondary bevel may be disposed between the primary bevel and the cutting edge. The secondary bevel may include a secondary bevel start line parallel to the spine and along a first longitudinal axis. A ricasso may be positioned at the first blade end adjacent to the cutting edge, the ricasso including a ricasso angle assist bevel. The ricasso angle assist bevel may include a ricasso angle assist bevel start line along a second longitudinal axis, wherein the second longitudinal axis is closer to the spine than the first longitudinal axis.

Abstract: Various embodiments for a knife having a bolster angle assist bevel that eliminates the need for an external jig are disclosed herein. The knife includes a blade extending from a bolster in which the blade defines first and second blade ends with a spine that extends between the first blade end and the second blade end. The blade forms a primary bevel that transitions into a secondary bevel that forms a cutting edge. In addition, the bolster forms an integral bolster angle-assist jig portion having a flat, beveled angled surface configured for establishing a sharpening angle relative to a sharpening stone when sharpening the cutting edge of the blade.
