Key Features and Advantages
- Optimized for Flexible Blades: Specifically designed to center and stabilize long, flexible knife blades, ensuring symmetrical sharpening on both sides.
- Wide Clamp for Enhanced Stability: The 5 1/2″ wide clamp offers superior stability for thin and flexible blades, minimizing flex during sharpening for consistent angles and pressure.
- Universal Compatibility: Works with Tormek T-4, T-8, and older models, making it a versatile addition to any sharpening setup.
- Robust and Durable Construction: Features zinc-cast clamps and durable composite stops for longevity and reliable performance.
- Ergonomic Design for Comfort: The well-balanced weight distribution towards the clamps and ergonomic stop design enhance user comfort during prolonged sharpening sessions.
- Versatile Sharpening Applications: While it excels with flexible blades, it’s also suitable for larger, more stable knives such as chef’s knives, offering broad utility.
User Experience Focused Design
The ergonomic and well-balanced design of the KJ-140 Wide Centering Knife Jig enhances the sharpening experience. By concentrating most of the jig’s weight on the clamps and incorporating a flat surface for thumb placement, Tormek has prioritized user comfort and control during the sharpening process.
The KJ-140 Wide Centering Knife Jig stands out as a specialized tool for those who require precision sharpening for long, flexible blades. Its design and features address the unique challenges associated with sharpening such knives, offering stability, comfort, and consistent results. Whether for professional chefs, fishermen, or culinary enthusiasts, the KJ-140 enriches the sharpening process, making it possible to maintain the highest quality and performance of flexible blades.
Centering for Symmetrical Sharpening
The self-centering mechanism of the KJ-140 Jig is pivotal for achieving even, symmetrical bevels on knives regardless of their thickness or blade geometry. This feature ensures that knives are sharpened to perfection, from the thinnest fillet knives to those with a blade thickness of up to 10 mm (7/16″).
Wider Clamp for More Stability
The wider clamp design not only stabilizes flexible blades but also supports a uniform bevel across the entire length of the blade. This is a critical advantage for professional-quality sharpening, especially for specialized tools like filleting knives, where precision is paramount.
Guided Freedom
Like its counterpart, the KJ-45, the KJ-140 offers guided freedom, allowing users to follow the unique contours of each knife. This adaptability ensures that a variety of blade shapes, from fillet knives to recurve and classic chef’s knives, can be sharpened with precision and ease.
