Knife jig aid

[van]

My thought comes from the fact that I use the same procedure as Vadim. And in measuring the distance from the jig to the edge of the blade this type of collar is a hindrance.

I loved the idea of the jig and bought an aluminum one and works well, but then I found a plastic version that I like even more since it is more self lubricating or slick since it is the plastic and works well. I bought mine from Amazon here in the U.S. Maybe these can be found elsewhere also?

Those look good Dastagg. I think I'll have to try them. And thanks to Wootz for coming up with the initial idea, I been watching his YouTube channel and noticed he was using those collars. I also just finished reading his book, Knife Deburring: Science Behind The Lasting Razor Edge. If anyone hasn't read it you really need too. Oh and by the way thanks for the physics refresher Jan and Herman!

Clever idea, Dastagg. I ordered one. It seems like something which may have several uses.

One of the joys of this forum is seeing ideas bounce around with our members with many differing skills. The combined total is indeed greater than the sum of the individual parts.

Instead of making a modification to the support bar as Wootz shows early on in this thread would it work to alter this plastic collar instead? If you really messed it up it is a lot less of an investment.
