No Weld Knife Making Bevel Grinding Jig

After making the knife filing vise last week I though I may as well use up the scraps and complete the job with a bevel grinding jig.
This is weld-less so anyone with basic tools can make one. I don't make many knives so it's not going to get used much so I didn't invest a lot of time and almost no money in it but it still turned out OK

Another usefull tool made. Thanks Gary. What i like most about your build video's is the no nonsense , no fancy loud music, no expensive tools. Plain and simple , directly the point of interest for those who want to see how its done. Very easy to follow . Happy new year ! Greetings from Belgium.

Thank you for showing 'mistakes', it does save us the frustration making them ourself.

[@araiakunin352]

We had built something similar but used magnets on the blade so no need for clamps. Great work!

[@garyhuston]

That's a great idea!

Clamp a small straight edge on the grinder table (as a limiting stopper) so that you get the required depth uniformly else it will be wavy as your hands move this way that way.

the back thread mount needs to be on a pivot as well.... Best way to hold the blades in is a straight bar that goes across the work piece to stop the sanding at the exact same place on both sides of the blade

[@randomamerican471]

I was thinking maybe you could weld a ball bearing onto the end of the rod. And drill the pinholes out to hold it between the brackets. But this one is weldless, hehe. I'm definitely making one. Thanks for the video!

[@garyhuston]

sorry i don't understand how and what happens when the blade is turned around?

[@rigidironworks9834]

Very cool Gary and I too prefer the beefier material. I have one question, other than having a bunch laying around your shop is there another reason you used the hex head screws for the knife to rest on? I think I would be better off using say, a length of 1/4" square bar plug welded from the back because I'm sorry to say, the odds of me drilling the holes perfectly in line are quite low lol. Thanks Gary Mike

[@garyhuston]

Rigid Ironworks I would use bolts of some sort because the knife may not be a uniform shape and you may need to remove one or more to accommodate the shape. Also as I mentioned in the video you may need to add more higher up for narrower blades. You could use a solid bar but blind bolted from behind so it can be removed or altered to suit the blade you are grinding.

Great idea for a bevel jig. What do you think that the angle range would be for a jig like this, and how consistent do you think that the angle adjustment would be?

[@garyhuston]

More than enough for any knife. Consistency is down to you and the wrench!

[@rifleman7313]

@@garyhuston I was just trying to visualize how I could go about sharpening the secondary bevel on a reverse tanto style blade. I was wanting to do a Wharncliff knife but with a reverse tanto/tanto style tip. The Wharncliff knife is relatively simple to sharpen since it has full flat grind and no curves on the cutting edge.

Instead of relocating the four holes to mount the two brackets, you could have just drilled a new hole at the right height. It wouldn't have been centered on the brackets you made, but that doesn't matter.

[@BillDerr]

Yup, with it sitting higher, he'd have a little bit more fine tuning capability over the angle as it's a little bit further from the pivot point. Not sure it would make that much of a difference. I know I would have slotted out the hole on the bracket instead of moving the other pieces.
