The Tormek Knife Jig SVM-45 is suitable for sharpening all kinds of knives; household knives, chef’s knives, craft knives and knives for hunting and fishing. You can also sharpen carver’s drawknives.
Since the jig rests freely on the Universal Support you can follow the curve of the blade.
The Universal Support is normally placed vertically for knife sharpening towards the edge. Short knives can also be ground away from the edge with the Universal Support placed horizontally.
Minimum blade length 60 mm (2 3/8").
For smaller knives, see 85-8067-3 (SVM-00).
