Hi,

I've got an atomic hatchet (07/08) with a 2.5 degree park bevel.

Is this a side bevel? Or a base bevel? I'd like to sharpen my edges without losing this bevel.

What angle sharpener should I get? I guess the sharpeners you can buy you can only use on the side edge?

If I get one that does 88 degrees (for the side) like this one: http://www.rei.com/product/744890
would that surfice? I don't mind losing the 0.5 (I'm not a fan of rails/boxes)!

thanks in advance

~ Jay

It will be the base bevel.

Ah cheers, so if I get a 90 degree sharpener it'll be right?
