Tormek Knife Sharpening Jig (KJ-140)

KJ-140 Wide Centering Knife Jig

Symmetrical result on flexible knives

This well-balanced, patented jig provides extra stability when sharpening knives with long, flexible blades such as filleting knives. 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.

Why KJ-140 Wide Centering Knife Jig?

• Centers long, flexible knife blades in the jig for optimal, symmetrical results.
• The 5 1/2" wide clamp stabilizes flexible blades.
• 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 stops.
• Well-balanced – most of the weight is focused on the clamps, which provides a more balanced feel when grinding.
• Slides smoothly with low friction against the universal support.
• Works with both Tormek T-4 and Tormek T-8, as well as older models.

Wider clamp – more stability

The KJ-140 Wide Centering Knife Jig works in the same way as the KJ-45 Centering Knife Jig 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.

Please note that the KJ-140 Wide Centering Knife Jig cannot be used with the SVM-00 Small Knife Holder. The KJ-45 Centering Knife Jig is used instead.
