Edge trailing (away from the edge)
The instruction has shown you how to sharpen knives towards the edge with the Universal
Support placed vertically. This way works for all knife lengths. You can also place the Universal
Support in the horizontal position and grind with the edge. For sharpening with the edge,
there are limitations to which knives you can sharpen as the lower stop or the knob on the
clamp may touch the leg of the Universal Support. These limitations are due to several factors.
Factors affecting the option to sharpen with the edge trailing:
•
Which Tormek model you have
•
How long the knife is
•
How tall the blade is
•
Where on the blade the jig is attached
•
How deeply on the knife blade the jig is attached
•
The sharpening angle.
We recommend that you try out what works on the knife you are sharpening at the time, with
its conditions.
