Check that the knob is loose.
Adjust the jig with the
small screw to fit the thick-
ness of the knife.
Tighten the knob. The knife is
now firmly mounted in the jig.
Mounting the knife in the jig
The edge angle on the tip is depending on where the jig is mounted
on the blade (a). If it is mounted towards the handle, the edge angle
at the tip will be smaller. If the jig is mounted towards the tip, the
edge angle at the tip will be larger.
The correct mounting position
(a) will make the bevel and the
edge angle the same along the
entire length of the blade.
The jig needs to grip the knife with min 2 mm (
5/64
"). You can grind
knives with a width down to 14 mm (
9/16
") with an edge angle of
25°. Knives with narrower blades, see SVM-00 page 59.
