3. The knife jigs
This document refers to the knife grinding jig “Knife Jig SVM-45” (see Fig. 3.1) and
the jig for longer knfes “long Knife Jig SVM-140” (see Fig. 3.2).
The jigs rest on the “Universal Support” of which the position with respect to the
grinding stone can be adjusted. See also Fig. 4.1.
Fig. 3.1: Knife Jig SVM-45 Fig. 3.2: long Knife Jig SVM-140
Apart from the adjustable clamp ('1' in Fig. 3.3) for
holding knives of any thickness, the jigs comprise
an adjustable stop (2) by which the distance from
the knife edge to the universal support can be ad-
justed to the desired length. Thus we have the fol-
lowing parameters for adjusting the grinding angle:
• the distance from the universal support to the
stone
• the distance from the knife edge (in the clamp)
to the adjustable stop
4. Adjustment of the grinding angle
The adjustment procedure will be explained with reference to Fig. 4.1, which gives
the notation of the available parameters.
! = grinding angle.
A = Adjustable length between the adjustable stop and the knife edge
K = length of jig between support-top and Knife edge
S = distance from support-top to the Stone

D = Distance from support to the centre of the stone (D=S+R

=S+R)
Notes:
• The reference point on the jig for the distances K and S (also D) is above the
centre of the universal support.
• The maximum value of D is 215 mm
• Length between stop and clamp edge is adjustable from 108 to 125 mm
• Diameter of support bar is 12 mm
• The stone diameter varies from 250 mm to a recommended minimum of
180 mm.
