The latest new product from Robert Sorby is the Knife Sharpening Jig for the ProEdge Sharpening System.

The jig consists of all parts required to convert a ProEdge, a new back plate, raised wear plate, universal arm and knife holder. The kit includes instructions on fitting and should only take a few minutes to fit onto the ProEdge. It is available in two sizes, with a small knife holder for pocket knives, carving knives and blades upto 8" long and with a large knife holder for hunting knives and blades over 8". The jigs are universal so a customer can buy the other knife holder to enable all sizes to be sharpened. The clamp on the knife holder has three screws, two clamping screws and a jacking screw to enable different thickness of blades to be safely held. The adjustable collar on the arm will allow different bevel angles to be sharpened from a steep angle for a woodcarving knife to a shallow angle for a fish filleting knife.

Also available are three new Trizact belts for sharpening and finishing all types of knife. A Trizact structured belt is different to other abrasive belts. Being arranged in an open form the abrasive allows for a rapid cut, with greater resistance to clogging which in turn means much less friction creating a cooler cut and extended belt life. These new belts are also suitable for sharpening high speed steel turning tools and carbon steel edge and carving tools.
