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 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 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 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 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!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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 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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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?

@@tobinmachinesI saw that on Lawrence’s description on the website after I finished the video. I wish I knew that when I did the sword! 😜
Never thought I'd see the day when you recommended a jig! Must be pretty good if you like it.
Exactly! I do really like this one. Thanks for watching, Bryson!
Can't wait to get mine, been wanting one for a while!
Great review!!

Maritime Knife Supply is carrying them but they are already out of stock. Check back in a month. 👍
Unfortunately, I just saw that they are already sold out! I'm crushed...😒

The only problem i see is that it comes on a tooling arm that will not fit housemade tube steel grinder @TyrellKnifeworks
@@MONKEY_420.it’s trivial to replace a tool arm. 1.5” tube steel is about $10/ft.

Haha, I held the video until he had a US distributor. Thanks for tuning in!
@TyrellKnifeworks always great content. Hope this helps with my grinding AND speeds up the process once I become proficient with it.
awesome knife grinding work,..
Thanks for taking a look!
Nice video for today 😊😊

I wonder if there is a 2" tool arm for it. Not all grinders have 1 1/2" tool arm inserts
Just buy a piece of 2” square tube. It’s like $20. Thanks for watching.
MKS is going to offer 2", 1.5" and 1.25" eventually.
Muito bom !
👏👏👏🤜🤛Super tool
Thanks for checking it out!
Do you ever accidentally snap a belt grinding edge-up into it?
Never. Edge up is how pretty much everyone grinds. I’ve never heard of anyone snapping a belt that way. Thanks for watching.
There is no better way for grinding knives than freehand. Period.
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.

You can definitely do full flat grinds, you just use the plate with the cutout. Thanks for watching
You can definitely do full flat with this. This is designed for kitchen knives primarily. If nothing else you get an awesome table grinding jig.
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
No idea what you’re trying to say. What more do you want to see? It does bevels, it’s easy. If you don’t like it, move along.
