Hi Gail, I love that you picked up on this! You most likely wont find an angle guide for 45 degrees. This is because the angle guides are meant to be used on each side of the knife. Since most western kitchen knives are sharpened on both sides, using a 22 degree angle guide (you sharpen one side first, then the other) would result in a 44 degree edge when sharpened on both sides. You can learn more about knife angles and the differences they have on the edge of a knife here: https://www.sharpeningsupplies.com/Detailed-Discussion-on-Knife-Sharpening-Angles-W28.aspx

You recommend 45 degrees. Is there an angle guide for 45 degrees?
