How exactly does is measure the correct angle? Do you have to eye it like the cheapo models you can get from wish.com?

DirkGTo truly measure the angle you need an angle cube. It has markings on the post, and the ones on mine are pretty accurate (v6), but the human eye is only so accurate.
Sharpening is really about consistent angles, so it really only matters that you use the thickness compensator between stones as far as sharpness goes, but buying an angle cube is a smart move.

DirkGUse an angle cube or the sharpie method. Run a black sharpie down the blade edge and then adjust your angle. When the sharpie is fully removed from the edge with some light strokes you know you go the right angle. For setting a new angle use he angle cube.

DirkGYou can use an angle gauge, or color the knife edge with a sharpie and adjust the angle so that the sharpie is taken away in one sweep.

DirkGAngle cube makes it simple, measurements are kinda wonky, in that you've gotta read them from the bottom instead of from above.
