Sharpening angles for a saber: 1. Divide the blade into 3 parts. 2. From the tip, 1st third is 25 degrees; if there's a reverse sharpening, it's about the same (reverse sharpening). 3. 2nd third is 35 degrees. 4. 3rd third is 45 degrees. I recommend a sharpening angle 3-5 centimeters from the handle that's generally duller than 45 degrees. This is in case your palm gets caught during feints or twisting.
