With the KJ-140 Wide Centering Knife Jig, you achieve symmetrical sharpening with the same angle on both sides of the blade. Regardless of the thickness and geometry of the blade, it will self-center in the jig, giving you the same result on both bevels. The longer clamp stabilizes flexible knife blades to prevent them from flexing, so that you get the same angle and pressure over the entire bevel.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy KJ-140 Wide Centering Knife Jig?\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eCenters long, flexible knife blades in the jig for optimal, symmetrical results.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eThe 5 1\/2\" wide clamp stabilizes flexible blades.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eCenters tapered knives and holds them firmly.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eAn extra stop for tall knives, such as cleavers.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eAbility to shape a slightly convex edge with a movement between the two stops.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eRobust design – zinc-cast clamps and durable composite stops.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eWell-balanced – most of the weight is focused on the clamps, which provides a more balanced feel when grinding.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eSlides smoothly with low friction against the universal support.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eWorks with both Tormek T-4 and Tormek T-8, as well as older models.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eCentering for Symmetrical Sharpening\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eWhen you mount your knife in the KJ-140 Wide Centering Knife Jig, the knife self-centers in the jig, whatever its thickness or geometry. This means that the jig centers everything from the thinnest knives to knives with a blade thickness of up to 10 mm (7\/16\"). It also means that knife blades that taper off from spine to edge and heel to tip are centered in the jig, providing symmetrical bevels on both sides of the blade. Easy setup, perfect results.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eWider Clamp – More Stability\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe KJ-140 Wide Centering Knife Jig works in the same way as the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/tormek-centering-knife-jig\" title=\"Tormek kj-45 centering knife jig | greenvill crafts\" aria-label=\"Tormek kj-45 centering knife jig | greenvill crafts\"\u003eKJ-45 Centering Knife Jig\u003c\/a\u003e but has a wider clamp. The wider 140 mm (5 1\/2\") clamp stabilizes thin and flexible knife blades and provides more support for an even bevel along the entire blade. Of course it can also be used with larger knives with more stable blades, such as chef's knives.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note that the KJ-140 Wide Centering Knife Jig cannot be used with the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/tormek-small-knife-holder\" title=\"Tormek small knife holder svm00 precise | greenvill crafts\" aria-label=\"Tormek small knife holder svm00 precise | greenvill crafts\"\u003eSVM-00 Small Knife Holder\u003c\/a\u003e.

This makes it possible to sharpen knives with different blade shapes, from fillet knives to recurve knives and classic chef's knives.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eWell-Balanced and Ergonomic\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe user experience has also been in focus in the design and construction of the KJ-140 Wide Centering Knife Jig. For the best grinding experience, most of the jig's weight is focused on the clamps, the part that is closest to the grinding itself. This provides a very well-balanced feel when it's used. The end of the stop has been designed with ergonomics in mind, with a flat surface to place your thumb on to secure the jig against the universal support. This little feature makes long periods of grinding more comfortable.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecs and details\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Freight weight 0.39 kg (0.86 lb)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grey\/black\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Precision cast zinc, durable composite\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2-year warranty\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tormek","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58747927462262,"sku":"TOR-KJ-140","price":55.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0578\/7965\/8664\/files\/tormek-wide-centering-knife-jig-758.webp?v=1789594420","url":"https:\/\/www.ukpenblanks.co.uk\/products\/tormek-wide-centering-knife-jig","provider":"UK Pen Blanks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
