Hi! :)
I am a new happy owner to a Tormek T4. There is a lot a of accessories such different sharpening jigs for knives and axes and so on. My hobby is knife throwing and includes trhowing stars. To find a jig for a throwing knife is easy,but my question to you Tormek owners,which jig/sharpening accesoires would be best to attach a throwing star to the Tormek? The throwing star is unlike most other tools often seen being sharpened by owners,but while practising throwing the stars to a wooden board the point has bent. I need to reshapen the entire edge to get the point sharp again. Is the Jig for Scissors the best choise? See picture of the throwing star.

I am happy for any advice you can give. :)

Thank you for the advice! :)  It looks like a good alterantive.

I had to add that the throwing star is a sort of chisel grind. It has  four edges that leads to the point,and the back of the four edges on the star is flat. Ower time throwing,one has to restore the edge and point,but at the same time it will be a small second edge/burr on the flat back of each star that also has to be slightly sharpen. Do you think that this SVD-110 is capable of performing all these tasks?

Please look at the pictures. One shows the front with a small edge,the other the flat side.
