All new japanese / high end chinese knifes need less than 14 degree guides. 10-12degrees. haw can i get one for high end Japanese knifes?

Japanese knives have visible main bevel at 10-12 degrees and invisible micro bevel at 14-16 degrees. 14 degrees Orange guide is great for everyday maintenance on Japanese knives. Micro bevel reduces chipping in super hard steels and improves edge retention. Please visit Wedgek website for tutorial and more information.

Listing says "internal diameter: 5/8" (16 mm)", but it's not clear if that is the min or max id. will they fit my 1/2" diameter rod?

Model Wedgek NX2 will work better on 1/2" rod. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N7MSM57 Another option is ceramic rod with angle guides WEDGEK HXT. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B084T56BF8

I have a 15mm (~19/32") sharpener rod. Will NX6 fit? Thanks!

Yes. It is a perfect fit. Thank you!

Mine were just delivered with zero instructions. how do i use it for a 14 angle knife?

I, too, was baffled on how to use it. But, after examining the guide closely, you will notice that the number would be close to or next to the ledge to which it identifies. Try it.

NX6 Fits Only Thick Ceramic Rods Diameter 5/8" (16mm), 12 Angles
