Tormek KJ-45 Centering Knife Jig

With the Tormek KJ-45 Centering Knife Jig, you’ll get symmetrical bevels with the same angle on both sides of the knife, regardless of the thickness or geometry of the blade. Whether you’re sharpening a regular kitchen knife or a thicker, tapered hunting knife, you’ll get the same results on both bevels of the knife without needing to reset the jig. 

The jig rests freely onto the Universal Support so you can follow the curve of the bladel. The KJ-45 Centering Knife Jig fits most types of knives: household knives, chef’s knives, craft knives and knives for hunting and fishing. It also works for carver’s drawknives and gardener’s pruning shears.

The KJ-45 features an extra stop for tall knives, such as cleavers. You can even put a slightly convex edge on a knife by moving between the two stops.

The KJ-45 takes knives with blades down to 60mm long and 12mm wide. For smaller knives, you can combine the knife jig with the SVM‐00 Small Knife Holder, which enables you to sharpen even your very smallest knives.
