Jerri,

There are two ways to set the sharpening angle on a blade:

Adjust the projection, keeping a constant distance of the USB from the grinding surface, or
Keeping the projection constant, and adjusting the distance of the USB from the grinding surface.

The HanJig (https://sharpeninghandbook.info/indexJigs.html#HanJig (https://sharpeninghandbook.info/indexJigs.html#HanJig)) is used for option 1, and requires a way to change the projection (as with the SVM-45 jig). This projection change is required as blades have different heights (the distance from the cutting edge to the opposite edge).

The KJ-45 does not allow for changing the projection, so I've not seen a way to use it with the HanJig.

Hope that helps.

If you look at the diagram on this page...
