The Tormek KJ-140 Wide Centring Knife Jig is a well-balanced, patented jig designed to provide extra stability when sharpening knives with long, flexible blades, such as filleting knives. With this innovative jig, you achieve symmetrical sharpening with the same angle on both sides of the blade, regardless of the thickness and geometry of the blade.
Tormek Wide Centring Knife Jig: Ensuring Consistent Bevels and Stable Sharpening for All Knife Types
The KJ-140 self-centres the blade, ensuring consistent results on both bevels. The longer clamp stabilizes flexible knife blades to prevent them from flexing, allowing you to maintain the same angle and pressure over the entire bevel.
When mounted in the KJ-140 Wide Centring Knife Jig, the knife self-centres regardless of its thickness or geometry. This jig accommodates everything from the thinnest knives to those with a blade thickness of up to 10 millimetres (7/16 inch). It centres knife blades that taper from spine to edge and heel to tip, ensuring symmetrical bevels on both sides of the blade for consistent and reliable sharpening results.
Superior Support for Thin, Flexible, and Large Knives With Tormek Wide Centring Knife Jig
The KJ-140 operates similarly to the KJ-45 Centring Knife Jig but features a wider 140 millimetre (5 1/2 inch) clamp. This wider clamp is ideal for stabilizing thin and flexible knife blades, providing additional support for an even bevel along the entire blade. It is also suitable for larger, more stable knives such as chef's knives.
Positioned with the stop resting freely against the universal support, the KJ-140 Wide Centring Knife Jig allows you to follow the shape of the knife, always guided by the universal support as a reference point. This design makes it possible to sharpen various knife shapes, from fillet knives to recurve knives and classic chef's knives.
Tormek Wide Centring Knife Jig KJ-140: Ergonomic Design and Precision for Professional Knife Sharpening
The user experience is central to the design of the KJ-140 Wide Centring Knife Jig. The jig's weight is focused on the clamps, providing a balanced feel during use. Additionally, the stop's end has an ergonomic flat surface for thumb placement, making long periods of grinding more comfortable.
