Knife Making: Bevel Grinding Jig

[@shaunm2208]

Just received my JIG, great workmanship and great attention to detail, a big thanks to Nick for all his help with my questions. He is real easy to deal with and everything went smoothly with getting it sent to me in Thailand.

[@andrewwilson8317]

Hi there,great jig. I make one that is very similar but different in a few areas. I have threaded holes on the rear to allow the fitting of screw in handles, to suit each user. The blade is clamped with a trio of very strong magnets. The base is adjustable from 90 degrees back to75 degrees. It has an adjusting screw and is used with a commercially available angle gauge. I do like the idea of the fixed angles, easier than the locking hinge to make!

[@brianchester2122]

I have watched many a video of knife making. Your video is excellent. As I have yet to begin my first knife project, your video Identified my suspicion. I need a jig. My father-in-law left me several knife blanks of different sizes. I am still purchasing tools. I am still just sharpening my own knives. I encourage you to pursue commercializing your tool. Thank you.

[@geneclifford8662]

Great work on your Bevel grinding jig. I also use bevels on my knifes, but that is because I shake like a dog crapping razor blades. Anyhow, I am impressed with your craftsmanship. Keep up the good work Gene

[@serenenaps7750]

Wow, this is an amazing idea. I like it, the whole idea with the angle steel at the bottom and being able to interchange the degree of the angle. I just started into making knives and I do free-hand grinding and it's very hard to keep everything even and keeping the grinds clean and nice looking.

[@rockinlknivesjeremy4002]

Had similar idea for a jig but the local CNC shop was a little steep on the hourly rate. Looking forward to the next vid.

[@BelnapCustomKnives]

Nice video. Looking forward to what else you post. I am a fan of using jigs. To design and build your own jig takes a skill of its own.

[@idsubgun]

I'm a machinist too, retired after 33 years in Tool & Die, and am getting into knife making. I've watched quite a few videos on making beveling jigs and your jig is, by far, the best design! I will be copying it, if you don't mind. Can you give me a couple dimensions? Length of jig, and dimensions on the legs of the angle?

[@forge52100]

Nice jig, I'm looking into building one for longer blades like swords and daggers as the larger blades are harder for me to free hand grind and I wind up doing a lot of filing. Most knife makers should be able to make a jig like that, but for the amount of work you put in to it it's a fair price.

[@huejanus5505]

Very nice jig. I work in the aviation business and aluminum touching stainless is a huge no-no for corrosion. The farther metals are on the periodic chart, the less compatible they are. Example: steel and copper don't mix, but brass and copper do. So don't leave your angled plates on when you're not using them.

[@jacobsacres6038]

+Michael Demers Thanks for the heads up!

[@essexmirageknives1989]

Nice jig and I like the idea of the interchangeable angle plates, great engineering mate

[@ta2dmacabre]

Nice jig and really good looking knives....keep the videos coming

[@Stassa23]

Thanks for sharing this it looks like a great jig I think I'll have to try and make one cause I've been trying to go from collecting knive to making them it's been a life long dream and I now have the time to pursue it

[@cptblackops]

great jig I love the angled base plate, and what a beautiful knife! I hope we get to see more from you and your blades soon.

[@franciscocebreros2692]

Great looking Jig!

[@darrellmoerch8733]

You did a great job on the video. Hope to see more from you.

[@carlcolson8143]

I’ll Buy One, it’s Extremily well made and worth the money

[@MrBtw999]

I would buy your jig and knife, it is the first video I have seen to bundle them together....I can make a jig like this at my workplace also, but you have already done the design and legwork....I am having a friend cut a knife design with his plasma cutter, still waiting for him to deliver it, 2 weeks later....making your own tools/knives will come in very handy when the apocalypse hits and skills are worth more than money....

[@rustyharvey6855]

that's a sweet blade. nice jig too

[@johnmer3000]

Brilliant! Thank you for your great little video. Best wishes.

[@mistrcrvr]

I second Wagonjon's remark about purchasing your jig. It is the best I have seen so far. Let us All know please! Also, great video!

[@PacNorthOR]

Michael Beesch yes, I agree also

[@rasfsa]

very nice jig. the price is correct too. time tooling etc etc that cost money to make.

Jeez dude, that's a beautiful piece of work. The best part - that angled plate. That takes all the wobble out as compared to other jigs that use a single bolt as an adjustment. You machine guys kill me - I'm a carpenter and our idea of tolerances would make you cringe. We think 1/16" is close enough.

[@randallkelley3599]

I really like that blade!

[@jacobsacres6038]

+Randall Kelley Thank you, it will be for sale when it's finished! ;)

[@planecrazyish]

very nice job man! wow.

[@Deoje362]

I really like you jig. looks great.

[@JohnCinOz1]

Nice job. Might try to get my local machine shop to replicate this jig. Thanks!

[@joecoastie99]

I would buy one of these in a heartbeat

[@moondogknives8812]

Me too! If you decide to market this jig - i'd buy one to make 17 deg and 20 deg bevels!!

[@frankfomkin222]

Nice video, the file work is nice too.

[@WAGONJON]

If you still have those made and available, I would purchase one from you with that 4 degree plate.

[@bobbydonello5969]

great video...i had already made the jig out of angle iron with the roll pins, not as smooth as yours out of alum of course, and the 4 -10 degree plate is great idea ! ...BUT... how about if i have a (tool rest plate) that i can TILT 4-10 degrees ? either way ! then i can use just the aluminum angle ? yes...-no ?

[@jacobsacres6038]

If your work rest tilts, then all you need is a 90 plate!

[@Khuneidi]

Great video .. very simple but effective But why you have only two videos .. there is a lot of potential for your videos Good luck 🍀👍

[@Vuhlositee]

Very cool... thanks for sharing

[@coreyk5085]

120 bucks for that jig is not bad at all, I'd buy one! Like E Rumsch Said about a month ago "Copyright this idea" well done!

[@hardshellconstruct]

hi there faantastic jig cld u please give me centres of those grub screws as im just starting out trying to make knifes cheers

[@e.t.preppin7084]

I'd love to see the grinder or belt sander you use this jig on. Thanks for the video and btw I'd buy one for sure.

[@bhein67]

I would like to make a jig like this. What are the dimensions and hole spacings you use. It will save me having to mess around figuring it out. TIA

[@colinanderson1399]

nice and simple ,good work

[@markschiermeyer9233]

How do I get one!? Great job!

[@seancathey7837]

I know you said you werent gonna go into production with these. But id happily take one if you are still capable?

[@michaelpaynejr.5504]

Can you make a video on how you made the design on the spine?

[@davidrivera5114]

Nice video are the jigs for sale?

[@MrBehst]

Thank you for this video. Could you tell me what your angles are for that primary bevel? I need a jig, and I need to know what angles to use...

[@jacobsacres6038]

+Brian Ehst In this video there is a 4 degree angle plate being used. The angle used is determined by the thickness of material, the desired bevel width, and edge thickness. I usually leave .02" on the edge for heat treat. Primarily I will use a 3-5 degree with decimals included (3.25,3.5,4.5 degrees, ect..) I hope that helps. I am going to make a few jigs in the future that will be for sale. I will be advertising those on my facebook page. There is a link in the description!

[@AR-qk9hw]

Nice work lad !

[@RustyGunn7]

How about just selling the 4° angle ( or series of angles) bottom plate to those who have a aluminum angle? Its a very nice set-up. Thanks.

[@raulresio330]

Awesome jig...

[@shanek6582]

Why the thumbs downs? Good idea and cool to share with us.

[@kroenen6661]

[@whispaz1]

+Jacobs Blades Done. Thanks!!

[@clayjenkins4268]

[@Warndog9]

[@warrenbuitendag5286]

very nice video and jig man!

[@jacobsacres6038]

+Warren Buitendag Thank you! Sub for more videos to come!

[@alt-w7130]

What was the name of the steel material you use to make the knives?

[@zacarriola7731]

nice setup

[@paulie4x1]

Say Heah, I think if you could invent a jig for a convex Grind, That would be awesome.

[@shaunm2208]

Nick, any update on the JIG ? Really need one please

[@shaunm2208]

+Jacobs Blades hey Nick not on FB anymore just on messenger spent to much time on there

[@jonhuber1942]

Can I still purchase one of these jigs?

[@ronnewton606]

very well made jig, i dont think the price is as bad as a lot of similar knife jigs, etc.

[@jonathanfrederick4343]

How much would it cost to have something like that made? I am new to knife making, and I need to find a good jig. @jacobsblades

[@jesseboeckmann5455]

@Jacobs Blades Do you have any of these for sale would love to buy one?

[@frankatack385]

[@jacobsacres6038]

+Bruce Cheaney Thank you Bruce! I'm a big fan!

[@Fishin-Chris9494]

heey would you ever sell a grinding jig and an angle plate?

[@dondavis769]

Hey Nick, I really like your jig--I don't have access to any machining tools so I would really like to purchase one from you. I don't have an issue with your pricing. Let me know if this is a doable deal.Thanks--Don Davis

[@jonniiinferno9098]

nice jig - guys with the cash will "order" and buy 'em - keep your options open

[@ozark7225]

I really like the idea of your jig would you be interested in selling I'd your paid the price you want?

[@t3006711]

[@hoold01]

Liked and subbed. I'd buy that jig.

[@happycamper9300]

Do you still have those jigs for sale ?

[@robertverduzco4351]

can I get copies of your blade patterns

[@markthornhill8579]

do you sell those gigs?

[@mikeparker2520]

A plastic angle piece sandwiched between metal plates would work as well and be easy to make on a belt sander... great idea tho.

[@jonathancorridon6819]

Hi do you sell these jigs? I would like to buy one from you please.

[@PalCorilloPodcast]

Need to make a video making a grinder in aluminium 2x72 and maybe sell them 👍🏻

[@BrosephRussell]

That is cool

[@MikePalmer42]

Nice idea

[@jacobsacres6038]

+Mike Palmer (MP Custom Blades) thank you!

[@MikePalmer42]

+Jacobs Blades I know what it's like making and selling knife making equipment small volume makes the price hi

[@rickhaynes4177]

[@amitsarkar9472]

good job

[@biggusdiggus5928]

How much are they to buy please,

[@9q7a5z]

Good jig. Don't give up on the vids. Lots of trash on the web. Need more solid, informative videos like this.

[@stacygreer4082]

I'd buy one!!

[@sandroleon-martin122]

Free hand grinding is difficult and frustrating in the begging but you get used to it.

[@Bfkbfk5445]

Are you selling your jig I'd love to buy it!

[@Edgunsuk]

Actually that is not a bad price if you simply cannot free hand grind , i used 2 jigs when i started both self made and a lot nastier than yours it has to be said , but now i can teach free hand grinding in an hour.

[@jgichnoo]

The "Machaxe" A small machete/axe all in one.

[@mistersmith3986]

You should call that chopper, "Jacobs Latter".

[@no__handle__found]

the price is appropriate to me. i would buy one.

[@RWH9mm]

how do I contact you to buy a set?

[@wayned5872]

chopper name the behemoth how about carpenter steel? and angle plate from inconel? with cocoa butter as lube for plate /base lube ? just a idea

[@ghost_bodo]

hello can you sell one like this(Bevel Grinding Jig) for me I'm beginner and I'm want make my first knife please for answer

[@hidingfromyou4455]

I like your vid and it looks interesting. Good luck with those going foreword. One point (pun intended) while speaking try to refrain from using the word "um". Keep up the good work.

[@espjason]

Hi are the jigs 4 sale

[@olivergrundtwormjensen9786]

do you sell these?
