    my ceramic rods sit in wooden block at 25 and 30 degrees??? they look like two cigarettes.
    What I meant was getting the angle right for any individual knife as in 17deg, 20deg 25deg. I can work out 90deg and 45deg but below 45 I can't workout. Also I'm far sighted so I can't see the blades edge flat on the steel to determine the blades correct angle. I made a jig for my whetstones that I can position at any angle, all I do is get the blades angle stated by the manufacturer and set the jig accordingly and start sharpening while holding the knife at 90deg, which is easy. What I could do with is those blade angle guides.
