Debi has been working on building an adjustable knife grinding jig for a while now. I helped her with some of the grunt work like filing, drilling and tapping some holes etc. Finally got it finished today. I donated two old cast iron file handles and it looks pretty good and works like a charm.

Knife attached

Adjusted for cutting edge grinding.

Need I say, I'm proud of her for all the work she did on it. She found the steel in our resource pile and did all the cutting to shape, layout of the holes drilled & tapped etc.

Iron Dragon, Somehow I missed seeing this until today, very nice job, I'm going to put this in the bank for when I get my 2 x 72 built

Hey, that's cool.  

Have you put it thru it's paces? 

 

I tested it with the Seax blade that I forged in the picture. It works very well a whole lot better than I can free hand.

This is a ladies three finger knife that Debi used the jig to do the grinding. Hopefully the bevel above the tape shows. I'm supposed to make a scabbard for it hence the tape so I don't cut myself it's scary sharp.

That's great. Nice knife. 

 

You guys seem to work well together.

Enhancing each others ideas and work. 

 

So wonderful. 

Pretty cool!

Looks good!

I could have sworn I added pictures of the bench mount jig so file work can be done, so here they are. Maybe it is in another thread.

Very nice..  Are you still able to rotate it?  

I love the slice of RRtrack as the mount..  

Yes, it will rotate to any angle wanted by loosening the big wing nut. It is a companion jig to the first one posted made out of square tubing with wood inserts as jaws. The only drawback we found is it's limited to blade length it will accept.

That is a great design for a knife angle jig.. I love the old chainsaw file holders for handles..  Brilliant..
