You'll also learn why the back of chisels and plane irons is so important. Every tool has its optimal angle! We'll explore the differences between the sharp bevel angles of razors (approx. 10-15°), the versatile cutting angles of kitchen knives (approx. 20-25°), and the robust angles of plane irons and chisels (approx. 25-35°).
