Q1 which jig for marking knife

[Ukfraser]

Hi, i have recently retired, moved and got a t4 with se77 and now setting up my workshop and checking my tools and getting back into carpentry and considering which i can sharpen and which jigs i need.

I am a bit unsure of some of the tool names in the manual so decided to use the forum for clarification.

I have decided its easier to ask four separate questions so the answers dont get too complicated.

I have a marking knife which has single bevel but the blade is angled.

Is it possible to sharpen and if so which jig.

I would say, that could be done directly on the Support Bar, like a small chisel, as seen in the book...



... mark the edge with a Sharpie and just match the existing angle, and angle the knife so it's parallel across the stone.

Many thanks.

I second CB's recommendation. Using the supportbar as a rest is a useful but underutilized technique. If you can't get close enough, try using the platform jig.

Incidentally, just like kitchen knives, if you notice you marking knife being just a little off sharp, you can often refresh it using just the leather honing wheel.
