Use of Angle Setter KS-123

[blade runner]

Does the KS123 work with narrow width knives? I could not get the blade edge to rest on the guide without running out of the knife holder stem. I am using a T4. Any tips to resolve this issue would be highly appreciated.

Blade Runner,

A few more clues would help to solveyour mystery:

What width knives are causing your problem? This is from the KJ-45 instructions:


"The KJ-45 Centering Knife Jig centers knife blades up to 10 mm thick. You can sharpen knives with blades down to 60 mm (2 3/8") long and 12 mm (8/16") tall. For smaller knives, you can combine the knife jig with the SVM-00 Small Knife Holder, which enables you to sharpen even your very smallest knives"

(Very small knives are usually this enough to benefit from the self centering feature of the KJ-45.)

Are you using a SVM-00 small knife jig?

What bevel angle do you want to use?
