the original, still must have, forum designed knife jig

Most of us were probably not on the forum when Herman designed and made this jig. In my opinion, it remains on the "must have" short list for serious knife sharpeners. The advantage of the narrower "diving board" is that it allows both bevels to be ground full length without repositioning the jig. Here is Herman's video link:

Well done, Herman!

GKC's thread has a pretty good summary of the "Platform Jig"...
