KJ-45 Centering Knife Jig

The patented KJ-45 Centering Knife Jig by Tormek ensures symmetrical bevels with consistent angles on both sides of any type of knife, regardless of its thickness or geometry. Whether sharpening a kitchen knife or a tapered hunting knife, the jig provides identical results without requiring a readjustment. It accommodates a wide range of knives, such as household, chef's, craft, hunting, and fishing knives, as well as woodcarver's drawknives and gardener's pruning shears.

Why KJ-45 Centering Knife Jig?

  • Centers the knife in the jig for optimal, symmetrical results.
  • Centers tapered knives and holds them firmly.
  • An extra stop for tall knives, such as cleavers.
  • Ability to shape a slightly convex edge with a movement between the two stops.
  • Robust design – zinc-cast clamps and durable composite handle.
  • Well-balanced – most of the weight is focused to the clamps, which provides a more balanced feel when sharpening.
  • Slides smoothly with low friction against the universal support.
  • Works with both Tormek T-4 and Tormek T-8, as well as older models.

Centering for symmetrical sharpening

The KJ-45 Centering Knife Jig allows for precise knife mounting, regardless of thickness or geometry. This innovative jig self-centers the knife and accommodates blades up to 10 mm thick, as well as those with tapered edges. With its symmetrical grinding capabilities, the jig guarantees optimal results with minimal setup required.

Guided freedom

The KJ-45 Centering Knife Jig allows for precision sharpening by utilizing a freely resting stop against the universal support. This ensures guided sharpening for various knife shapes, from craft knives to recurve knives and classic chef's knives, making it a versatile tool for sharpening.

Fits most knives

The KJ-45 Centering Knife Jig is suitable for sharpening knives with blades ranging from 60 mm (2 3/8") to 10 mm thick, and a height of 12 mm (8/16"). For smaller knives, the SVM-00 Small Knife Holder can be used in conjunction with the knife jig to accommodate even the smallest knives. Additionally, the KJ-45 has an extra stop for sharpening taller knives, including cleavers. Using the US-430 Extended Universal Support, even taller knives and tools can be sharpened.

The KJ-140 Wide Centering Knife Jig is specifically designed to stabilize and center long and flexible blades, providing consistently even and symmetrical results. This is especially beneficial for filleting knives.

Well-balanced and ergonomic

The KJ-45 Centering Knife Jig was designed and constructed with a focus on providing the best sharpening experience for users. The jig's weight is primarily concentrated on the clamps, which are closest to the sharpening area, resulting in a well-balanced feel during use.

The final part of the stop has been carefully crafted to prioritize ergonomics. A flat surface is included for you to rest your thumb on and securely attach the jig to the universal support. This small but significant detail ensures a more comfortable grinding experience, even during extended periods of use.
