The BAZ™ Knife Jig Handle V4.1 (Suits Tormek KJ Jigs)

The Amazing and Unique BAZ™ Knife Sharpening Jig Handle V4.1 bolts straight onto self-centering knife jigs such as the KJ-45* and KJ-140*, found on many leading water-cooled sharpening systems, giving a firmer, more natural hold for smoother, more consistent sharpening strokes. Based on thousands of hours using systems of this style, this handle was engineered through real-world experience — not theory. It’s the strongest and most refined version yet, featuring a 100% solid-fill design tested under extreme stress levels. Ready to bolt on with no modifications, no glue, no hacks required. Just a heavier-duty, better-balanced handle that makes every pass on the grinding wheel calmer, straighter, safer and more predictable. The new Version 4.1 features a thicker, more robust 100% solid shaft, slightly wider thumb cup for even more stability and strength and is 5mm longer to suit the rare situation where you might want to sharpen a very narrow blade such as a very small well used narrow pocket knife. ⚙️ Key Benefits • More control, less wobble – thumb-cup and grip geometry give stable pressure and cleaner strokes. • Comfort that lasts – neutral wrist position reduces hand fatigue during long sessions. • Bolt-on simplicity – installs in about 60 seconds; no cutting or gluing. • Built to work – solid, heavy-duty feel that turns your jig into a tool, not a toy. 🔩 Features → What You Feel • Wider thumb-cup dome → precise tip control and pressure without finger strain. • Wider guard / flange → confident palm index; keeps your hand off the wheel splash. • Super-reinforced neck → firm leverage with almost zero flex. • Lightly textured finish → secure grip, even when wet. • Ambidextrous → identical control left- or right-handed. 📦 What’s in the Box - 1 × BAZ™ Hybrid HD Knife Sharpening Jig Handle V4.1 - Note: Original knife jig not included — fits the common KJ-45* / KJ-140* style jig 🕒 60-Second, 3-Step Install • Remove the factory handle from the jig — be careful not to lose the springs. • Seat the BAZ™ Hybrid HD Handle V4.1 on the metal boss and align holes. ⚠️ Install the small-hole side first, double-hole side last. Be gentle. • Finger-tighten both bolts, then snug evenly. • Always make sure the second (larger) tightening screw is loose and fully undone before tightening the number 1 (smaller) screw to grip the blade as snug as possible before securing it with the second large screw. 🧾 Notes & Disclaimer • Personally designed by Baz at iSharpen. • Proudly 100% Made in Australia. • Plastic handle supplied only — you’ll need the original metal jig parts. • Store in a cool place (under 60 °C / 140 °F). High heat — such as car interiors — may deform the part. • When fitting, install the single-hole side first, then slide the double-hole side into place and secure. • Handle may show a few small artefacts that affect appearance only. Version 4.1 is the strongest version yet and should last many years. *BAZ™ and iSharpen are independent of Tormek AB.
