Which jig for this blade?

This is a blade from a specialized utility knife. To sharpen its entire length requires taking it out of its handle, which prevents using the SVM-00.

Which jig would be best to sharpen this blade?

TIA,
Tony

A razor blade has the same width (around 18mm)... and I can clamp it in the standard knife jig, with plenty of clearance.

So, I say SVM-45... unless I'm missing something here.

If you want to match the angles... you'll (obviously) have to set each side individually.

cb,

You're not missing anything. I'm missing my higher cognitive functions.  :(

For some inexplicable reason, it appeared there wouldn't be sufficient clearance -- but as you pointed out, there is.

Thanks,
Tony
