Title: Small Knife Holder - Sharpen Daggers?
Post by: Thy Will Be Done on May 14, 2026, 06:35:25 PM
Hi,

Running into problem of not being able to jig sharpen daggers, seems this may work.  Anybody doing this?

I should clarify, meaning large daggers, roughly 6-10" blades.

I do my pocket knives by hand. It takes practice but I get really good results.

I've used the small knife holder to sharpen knives (even large knives) which do not clamp well on the blade, like this Spyderco with a full flat grind and a distal taper. It works well. Just make sure your blade's edge is perfectly in line with the centerline of the jig, otherwise you'll get a wider bevel on one side.

However very long blades might be challenging because your support is not near the midpoint of the blade.
