Ok. I purchased one of their predator knives a few months back. It however was not what I was looking for as far as sharpness. I finally got a sharpening system that to me looks user friendly. A wicked edge go. Well I checked angle of bevel and it is 25 degree instead of the 20 they claim their knives are. I called them and they said 25 degree is good and to go with it. What degree do you prefer. Sounds like he eyes the angle and it can vary widely. Even though they claim a 20 degree cutting edge. Would you go with 25 degree?

25 deg is good, I use a Lansky system then finish with a barber's razor strop.
Some fixed blades get 20 deg, depends on the usage.
Here's a youtube video : on using the Lamsky system
Here's another shorter video : quick sharpening using Lansky

That 30* on the Sharpmaker is inclusive. That is 15* per side. To the OP, are you talking inclusive or 25* per side? Other than on a big chopper I wouldn't want a single bevel 25* per side on a knife. Especially a smallish blade meant for general purpose EDC or game skinning and processing.

A custom knife that doesn't pop hairs on delivery would be very disappointing.
