It looks like the scissor jig will work for the thinnest of the knives and I will need much, much more practice to get a proper edge. Thank you for that!

I haven't yet been able to get the square edge jig to work quite the way I need it to yet, but I'm going to keep plugging away at it and see. Worst case I'll share a few pictures of the issues I have run into and maybe more learned minds will continue sharing their insight.

Thank you for the suggestion and the welcome.

I did a quick mock-up and that jig could work for all but the smallest of the knives due to the jig itself interfering with the blade preventing me from getting my desired cutting length. (length of knife, length and angle of cutting side versus width of jig)

I neglected to mention before that these knives are ground on both sides. Obviously the SE-77 isn't able to flip over like the knife jigs, so is there a way to maintain the same grinding angle aside from resetting and eyeballing with or without the WM-200?

As a relative newbie to woodworking, knives, sharpening, etc. I think I've been doing a great job with my plane blades, kitchen knives and chisels. However, I'm a little flummoxed by my Hock and Hock-Style blades which don't seem to fit either knife jig (SVM-45 SVM-140) very well for the bevel location and angle I'm attempting to accomplish. Is it just my inexperience rearing its head or does this style of blade require a modification or new jig?

The blades I have have widths of 18mm, 12mm, 8mm, 7mm, 6.5mm with the 6.5mm having a very long cutting edge similar to the bottom-most knife in this picture (the others are like the upper-most).




Any suggestions will be much appreciated!
