I recently took in my small tool belt hand plane to be sharpened

I was wondering what the angle of the Stanley hand held, small hand

It seems the fellow sharpened it much to my dismay very steep and

Resharpening generally only requires touching up the secondary bevel - the
real cutting edge. The primary bevel is often not in need of additional
work. Google sharpening and you will understand.
