### Knife Sharpening Jig v2

Self-centering with swivel and linear action.

Most dimensions can be easily adjusted in Onshape, but since this was my first Onshape project, not everything is perfectly optimized.

Does it fully replace the Tormek KJ-45 in functionality?
**No.** It lacks many quality-of-life improvements and the precision you'd get with a $50–80 jig.
The jaws are not made of metal. There are no springs to automatically open the jaw. The screws for clamping aren't machined to distribute clamping pressure optimally, etc.

However, you get to choose the exact size of the jaws, the length of the handle, the color of individual parts, and you can even make one for each of your knife-sharpening buddies! :D So, decide for yourself whether it's more sensible to print it or buy it from Tormek
