In Response To: angle jig/honing guide (James Wells)
The 12 1/2 degree figure refers to the angle between the blade and and the work surface. The bevel on the blade is on the top of the blade and is independent of the blade angle. The bevel is probably in the range of 30-35 degrees. You should be able to achieve this with standard sharpening guides.
