Thanks for reviewing the jig! I'm glad you like it :) Looks like you put it to good use with the sword project. Another thing you can do really well with the jig is to grind fullers / S-grinds into blades when you combine the jig setup with a contact wheel. In this case, I usually put the cutting edge down towards the table so the fuller is ground at a constant distance to the edge. Now, the distance you set with the screw determines the height above the edge at which the wheels attacks and grinds the fuller. You then set the lever posts very low so the pressure point sits right behind or a bit below the fuller.
I saw this last year on a the UIK Bladeshow channel and was very interested. It's awesome to see they are available on this side of the pond now. I think I'm going to have to pick one up!
I called Maratime and they are already working on getting another batch ordered. I'm on the waiting list. Thanks again for letting us know these jigs are now available in North America!
Pretty cool tool. I saw something similar being used on the UK Bladeshow channel. I can see this being extremely useful for kitchen knives. Thanks for sharing Denis!
UKBladeshow had a video on my first verison of the jig. Back then it was missing the adjustment screw and some fine tuning but the concept was the same.
Thanks for sharing . . . This is an awesome jug for thicker blades. - Is there a jig made for grinding large, full flat grind, thin culinary blades which need more support ?
@@TyrellKnifeworks In my experience, I end up with hollows ground into the blades even when I uses 2 or 3 fingers pressing the blade into the abrasives. - Is there something I am missing ?
@@TyrellKnifeworks I first noticed this issue while thinning chef knives on sand paper resting on a flat granite surface. - That was before I purchased my 2x72 grinder, but see the same issue even with a freshly resurfaced platen. - I have resorted to a push plate with larger surface area. - That solves one problem but creates another. - Not enough pressure to crack the abrasive crystals on the grinding belts. - Any thoughts ?
Hey man, besides the list of tools in the description is there anything else you use that isn't there that would be good for a beginner forge? I want to get setup with a bulk of the workhorse tools and machines and get the other stuff as i get better
Denis my jig arrived yesterday. Looking forward to mounting it up and grinding with it. Question, it looks like this can eliminate the need to do "Knife Math" for proper angles of the grind desired and just grind to the centerline by eyesight.
@@TyrellKnifeworks Thanks. One last question about the nylon wheels. Did you loctite the bolts in so the nylon wheel spins? Running the bolts tight locks up the nylon wheel. What's your tips and tricks on that?
@@BigSteve93015I haven’t put the nylon wheels in. I actually don’t use the push lever much on mine because I’ve used it for swords with fullers or compound grinds so it doesn’t work as well. I think you’d need some washers and maybe locktite.
i ordered one of these jigs over a month ago from Austria , looks like tracking says i should have mine 11/4-11/5 looking forward to trying it out, these were made more for grinding chef knives i thought but im sure you can do other blades too.
I'm glad Oliver is getting some more visibility on his jig, its one of the few I'd use as its really good for processing a lot of kitchen knives. When I saw it about a year or so ago it was pretty impressive and a much better option than bolting up blades to bits of right angle and stuff.
I ordered one all the way from Austria. It works great! Much better than my freehand grinding or my jig. I had to change out the tooling arm to 2” for my ameribrade. Great grinding jig
@@trainwon5699 I've heard from Tobin they will have an option for 2 and 1.25" arms soon. For now, just buy a 2" arm at any steel supply... probably around $30.
I am thinking about making my own bevel jig (don't like that piece of angle iron I am using now). Denis, you made me reconsider my approach. 🙂 Thank you!
Damnit, I've been eyeing these since UK Bladeshow YT channel showed these a year ago and now they'll probably sell out before I can get one like when you talked about Hamon 1800 haha! I shouldn't have waited so long...
Any benefit you can see to add a light tension spring to the jig? Could free up both hands to guide the blade, but still keep the tension on the blade against the belts. Challenge would be to be able to swap sides, but with some thought, might be doable.
I wouldn’t want that personally. You want the hand pressure to know how much you’re taking off. I use it a lot without the lever actually. Thanks for watching.
I saw that with some high-level metal urges as a jig and I think it was a European country and I was almost gonna try and buy it pay for customs or whatever it was needed to get it because it looked so efficient and then I saw a new channel you had when I had to watch this video. I’m glad you explained a lot. I actually made my own version of it, but the sliding table part so now that I do understand that that actually really help out a lot thank you
I tried to beat the rush. Sure takes a long time to get across the pond. Thanks for the video so I’ll know what to do with it when it finally gets here.
I just clamp my blades to a square steel tube and adjust the platen angle. Very effective, simple, and also cheap. Been using it for a couple years and have near perfect bevels.
I've had one for a few months and it works great, had to order mine from the Austrian website. Thank god for google translate lol. Great quality, Its probably the best for thinning chef's knifes with the full flat grind insert. I would also suggest getting one of those tilt table grinding jigs from ebay, those work really great too.
I made one to test out the design and as mentioned, it seemed to have an issue with pointed blades: As the blade is drawn across the fixture, its height decreases. Because the bottom edge of the knife is fixed, the blade will gradually lean more and more into the belt as the tip is approached. As a result, the grind angle changes along the length of the blade. One approach is to lift the tip of the blade to maintain a constant height, but then there's no longer support for the tip, leading to possible grind variations. Also, when using the support lip with the notch, once the tip is past the opposing lip, it's back to the same problem, having a single support point, again leading to possible grind variations.
Right now it only ships with a 1.5" tool arm but Maritime will be having an option for 1.5", 2" and 1.25" tool arms in the future I believe. It definitely works with the Ameribrade right now, you just have to get a 2" tool arm which isn't expensive. Thanks for watching.
I was wondering when you were doing to describe the big you teased with the other build. Question. Doing a dagger or sword how does it keep the believes constant when the completed beveled side is running against the rest? It seems like that would throw the angle for the opposite bevel off? Would love a double edge tutorial and/ hollow grinding with it! Maybe a future TTT?
I did that sword that’s 33” blade that has bevels that change and it was just fine. I’m going to try hollow grinds and fillers with it. 👍. Thanks for watching.
Without adjusting the jig for the opposite bevel on a sword, you are correct that it would with the angle. But once you ground the first bevel and let's say you removed 2 mm on the edge while doing so, you just set the table 2 mm farther away from the belt for the other bevel and you are back in business. Hope that makes sense.
I knew I know that thing when I saw you apocalyptic build video! But I asked myself 'Did he really do it? Did he really order one from Austria?' Oliver is a super nice guy. He will hate you. His production will explode 😅
He sent me that one so I could do the review and video. We’ve been talking through email the whole time because I knew it would be a hit here. 😉. Thanks for watching.
@@MONKEY_420. Believe me it's worst it fiddeling around and make it fit to you grinder. Mine is also not standard. You built your own grinder. You be'll able to make it fit.
this is pretty sweet ! Was about to pull the trigger on a upgraded dust collection system but think i'll put that $ towards one of these bad boys. Maybe wait for Universal Blade Jig second generation .. .
I have one of these and I haven’t really fallen in love with it. This is really not so useful for short blades like this. Better for longer kitchen knives. I ended up using the table without the ratchet more.
Don’t be closed minded. There are tools to make your life easier. Do you make swords? Ever try to grind a bevel on a 3/4” wide sword? It’s not easy freehand.
Doesn't seem to be that great to me personally... I've used several and Moen is definitely the best I've found. With this one you won't be able to do full flat grinds, flats near spine will be all scratched up (I grind after finishing flats) and hollow grinds will be difficult.
It’s all business just to sell stuff that totally useless. Next time finish the whole big chef knife with that to prove the point since we your subscribers do it for us
Any questions about this jig and it's uses? Can you think of something else to do with it we haven't thought of?

Yes, I’ve noticed the same thing. No jig will solve all problems. Still, I’ve found this one to be the best out there. Thanks for watching.
Does it work with the Ameribrade 2 x 72?
