I am a little confused....hope to get an explanation from the wise men here.

https://cockloftsoftware.weebly.com/online-calculator.html

When I use this calculator (link over here) for my T8 and a chefs knife,  I put in the
Wheelsize 251,5
Projection 147,5
Angle         15

and I get
USB to casing 176,42
USB to stone    85,84.

Actually no problems in that - I adjust as good as possible and grind the knife....
but when I then try to measure the angle with the WM-200 and let it fit along the stone and upper straight side of the knife - then I get a measure of 18 degrees.

Does it have something to do with that the knife is thicker at the spine than at the bevel so it tapers a little from "top" to bottom (sharp side)?

So should I just go for the calculator and forget about the WM-200...or...?

All answers will be appreciated

I just wondered - if you sharpen knives etc. for customers - how do you pack and transport the knives after the sharpening?
Do you just wrap them in some tissues and rubberbands :-) or do you invest in some special cardboardboxes or bladeprotectors or something alike that?
