Tormek Centering Knife Jig | KJ-45

Tormek Centering Knife Jig | KJ-45.

The Tormek KJ-45 Centering Knife Jig is a patented jig designed to guarantee even bevels with the same angle on both sides of the knife, regardless of its thickness or geometry. From standard kitchen knives to thicker, tapered hunting knives, the jig ensures symmetrical sharpening without the need to constantly reset. Its self-centering mechanism adapts to blade geometries automatically, giving reliable results across a wide range of knife types.

The jig fits most household, chef’s, craft, hunting, and fishing knives. It is also suitable for woodcarving drawknives and gardening tools such as pruning shears. The additional stop allows sharpening of tall knives, such as cleavers, while its design also makes it possible to shape slightly convex edges by alternating between the two stops. The jig works seamlessly with both the Tormek T-4 and T-8, as well as older models.
