Thanks.** A: I've asked this question and the answer I got from a seller, and I believe you can also get the info from Mercer, is 15 degrees. There is a Wusthof sharpener that sharpens to 20 or 14 degrees. They're newer Classic lineup has blades set at 14 degrees. People saying larger angles are probably giving info for older knives, just like your question assumed two typical angles, 22.5 or 15, when in fact many European style knives have for a long time been set at 20 degrees and the finer blades are set at 11, 14 or 15 degrees. 11 degrees is for really tough metal, so different Japanese expensive blades are set that fine. Since I have the Wusthof pull through sharpener, I've set these to 14, and though I may have to hone and sharpen more often, they cut REALLY easy, and I LOVE this knife set that way. 22.5 is typically the angle for a heavy meat cleaver nowadays, or maybe knives that you buy for heavier outdoor cutting. **Q: Exact dimensions of the blade?** A: The widest part of the blade is 1 3/4 in, the center is 1 5/8 inch and the last inch of the blade narrows down from 1 inch. So this is a pretty wide blade, but very light and very sharp. **Q: What's the spine thickness of the Genesis Santoku?** A: Thin sturdy light knife, good for volume cutting. Not high end fancy but holds nice edge and has comfortable grip Not flimsy **Q: what is the frequency of sharpening needed for home based use?** A: If you're cutting through food where you're hitting the cutting board pretty hard, you'll need to hone the blade more often, but if your cutting soft vegetables and use the speed of your motion and not how hard you push down do the work of cutting, then you probably have to hone it once a month with regular use. Cutting through harder vegys means you're going to hit the cutting board harder though, so if you do that all the time, then you'll be honing about once a week or two weeks depending on usage. Sharpening is a different subject, and if you're not constantly banging the blade down on the cutting board, or cutting around bone which will put microscopic imperfections in the cutting edge, then somewhere between 6 months and a year with continual usage. You'll know because honing won't give you a sharp edge anymore. I LOVE this knife and use it a few times a week so I hone it about once a week, but I have a guide on my steel for 14 degrees and I have a hand sharpener that does 14 degrees each side so both honing and sharpening are VERY easy with this blade, and I've only changed the edge angle 1 degree (these come at 15) ## Frequently Bought Together - Mercer Culinary M20707 Genesis 7-Inch Santoku Knife,Black - Mercer Culinary Knife Guard, 8 Inch x 2 Inch,Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/418997622-mercer-culinary-genesis-7-inch-santoku-knife](https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/418997622-mercer-culinary-genesis-7-inch-santoku-knife) --- *Product available on Desertcart Thailand* *Store origin: TH* *Last updated: 2026-04-28*
