Symmetrical result regardless of blade thickness or geometry
With Tormek’s patented 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 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 the woodcarver’s straight drawknives and the gardener’s pruning shears.
Μου αρέσει να μαγειρεύω, να ψήνω και να κόβω. Έχω χρησιμοποιήσει πολλά ακονιστήρια αλλά αποφάσισα να κάνω ένα δώρο στον εαυτό μου που θα μου κρατήσει για μια ζωή. Αυτό το ακονιστήρι είναι πανεύκολο στη χρήση. Χρειάζονται μόνο μερικές δοκιμές για να το συνηθίσεις. Λατρεύω το γεγονός ότι δεν χρειάζεται να ξοδεύω χρόνο για κοφτερά μαχαίρια. Δεν είμαι μόνο εγώ ενθουσιασμένος, και οι φίλοι μου το λατρεύουν. Και φυσικά η 8ετής εγγύηση δείχνει πόσο σίγουρη είναι η Tormek για το προϊόν της.
Μην φοβηθείτε να επενδύσετε σε αυτό το ακονιστήρι. Έχω ξοδέψει πολλά χρήματα στο παρελθόν σε διάφορα άλλα, αλλά κανένα δεν κράτησε. Αυτό είναι μακράν το καλύτερο ακονιστήρι που θα μπορούσε να έχει ένα εστιατόριο. Είναι πανεύκολο στη χρήση, πολύ γρήγορο, και προσέξτε γιατί κάνει τα μαχαίρια πολύ κοφτερά!
When you mount your knife in the KJ-45 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 thickness of up to 10 mm. It also means that knife blades that taper off from back to edge and heel to tip are centered in the jig, providing symmetrical grinding on both bevels of the knife. Easy setup, perfect results.
Because the KJ-45 Centering Knife Jig is positioned with the stop resting freely against the universal support, you are able to follow the shapes of the knife, always guided by the universal support as a reference point. This makes it possible to sharpen knives with different blade shapes, from craft knives to recurve knives and classic chef’s knives.
The KJ-45 Centering Knife Jig centers knife blades up to 10 mm thick. You can sharpen knives with blades down to 60 mm (2 3/8″) long and 12 mm (1/2″) tall. 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. The KJ-45 Centering Knife Jig has an extra stop that makes it possible to sharpen really tall knives, such as cleavers. In combination with the US-430 Extended Universal Support, you can sharpen even taller knives or tools.
For knives with long and flexible blades, such as filleting knives, there is the KJ-140 Wide Centering Knife Jig, which stabilizes flexible blades for even and symmetrical results.
The user experience has also been in focus in the design and construction of the KJ-45 Centering Knife Jig. For the best sharpening experience, most of the jig’s weight is focused to the clamps, the part that is closest to the sharpening itself. This provides a very well-balanced feel when it’s used.
The end of the stop has been designed with ergonomics in mind. There is 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.
