KJ-45 Centering Knife Jig
Positioning of Machine
Sharpening direction: Edge leading or edge trailing.
Design
The KJ-45 Centering Knife Jig comprises an adjustable
clamp (1) for holding knives of varying thickness and blade
geometry centered in the jig, and a handle with two fixed
stops (2) for sharpening blades of different heights. The jig is
adjusted to the knife thickness with the screw (3). The knife
is screwed into the clamp using the knob (4) and locked
centered in the jig.
The jig rests with one of the two stops on the Universal
Support, which is adjusted to the approximate height. The
exact edge angle is set with the Micro Adjust on the Univer-
sal Support. Make sure to use the same stop throughout the
setting and sharpening process.
MOST KNIVES
For most knives, longer knives with
rigid blades, straight draw knives
and woodsplitting knives.
