Facelift with new sliding device

the extra-long clamp with which you can always clamp your knife in the middle.

Gone are the days when you milled material out of the Tormek clamp or placed valve plates underneath to clamp the knife in a centered manner.

This is no longer necessary here with this bracket.

Because the jaws move towards each other when the clamp is closed, the knife is automatically clamped in the middle.

The glued-in rubber is just a first suggestion from me.

The lateral shear forces leave much to be desired.

However, the knife is held well.

ATTENTION: Due to its design, this clamp is not suitable for knives that do not have a blade width of at least 25mm. With shorter knives such as pocket knives, filleting knives and the like, the clamp touches the stone at a flat angle. Tests with 1.5 mm thick rubber made it possible to achieve an angle of max. 17 degrees on a filleting knife that still protrudes 15 mm from the clamp. “Normal” Knives, on the other hand, do not pose any problems.
