for first time, go with 1/16" O1 or 8670, grind about 3 degrees per side till edge is 0.03(1/32"), HT, temper to Rc62 or so, grind 6 or 7 degrees per side and sharpen.
how can get the right angles?

score the edges, grind to the lines, then grind it flat. Or do you mean how much to grind off each edge to get a bevel angle of 6 degrees? In that case, just use the inverse tangent. If I need to explain this, let me know.how can get the right angles?
i have a 2" angle iron blade holder with holes. holes in tang are same size as holes in holder. make sure blade is secured with 2 or more bolts and parallel with top of angle iron. using an angle finder($10 at lowes) set for 3 degree grind. depending on grinder, either adjust work surface or platen holder. i adjust platen to be 3 degrees to the blade. grind on. for a thin blade, 3/32" or less, coarsest grind for me is 60 or 80, because you are not removing that much material. pre-heat treat, bevel should be 2 or 3 degrees, almost FFG for 1 1/2" stock.how can get the right angles?
