Knife Jig SVM-45

Note

  The height of the bench 

must not be too high when 
grinding knives. 550–650 mm 
(22–26") is suitable depending 
on your height.

Design

The jig comprises an 

adjustable clamp

 (1) for holding knives 

of any thickness and an 

adjustable stop

 (2). You adjust the 

jig to the knife thickness with the 

screw

 (3) and lock by 

tightening the 

knob

 (4).

The jig rests on the Universal Support. The exact edge 
angle is set by rotating the stop or with the Micro Adjust on 
the Universal Support.

The Universal Support is normally placed vertically for 
grinding 

towards

 the edge. Short knives can also be ground 

away from

 the edge with the Universal Support placed 

horizontally (page 57).
