Do I need the wide knife jig for this knife?

[CopperFish]

I just bought this knife: https://bernalcutlery.com/products/copy-of-new-vintage-canadian-15cm-6-chef-carbon-rosewood-50s

It's 14.5" long. Will the normal knife jig work or do I need the bigger one?

The length doesn't matter... it's whether or not the knife flexes.

This knife according to the description appears flexible. I would use the KJ-140.

Thank you!! I'll order it today. Is there a particular vendor people like over the others?

I have used Advanced Machinery several times. Always good service.

I bought my T8 from Sharpening Supplies and was quite happy.  I believe I bought a few items from them afterward, but Advanced Machinery is where I've gone for accessories and parts recently. 

Tormeks are often stocked at retail woodworkers supply houses, such as Rockler and Woodcrafters.  The long knife jig might not be something that is stocked as frequently, but its work a look.

My local woodworking store no longer stocks Tormek but they will order it if asked. They said that they wanted shelf space for items that moved quicker. I give them my occasional business and don't mind waiting a few days for delivery.
