Can this hold the correct angle for my hunting knife while moving across a whetstone? how the knife attach to the guide? do u pin down your finger?

This jig is not suitable for sharpening knives, it's for sharpening chisels, planer blades and such.

The tang of the blade goes about 1/2 into the handle, and a Allen screw goes through the hilt into the tang. I have read some say the compass is no good, but mine points in same direction as my Cammenga and Vitorinox. I put three coats of Flex Seal on the metal handle, it makes for a better feel. I think it is a pretty good knife (or mine is) Hope this helps.

Manual, this is no spring in this kknife. It comes out with a flick of a wrist..and with a little bit of persuasion by my thumb.

You can put the clip on the other side of the knife, but you can't move it to the pivot end. It is tip up in either configuration.

Yes, but it is going to bend. My neigbor and I both had the same issue. Dont waste your money. Kabar needs a redesign for this clip. I wish it did work. I would carry this knife much more if it did.... but that is not the case.

It's' a pretty fat knife. About 5" long & 2" wide so normal hunting cases won't fit. You're going to need something tactical.

Hi, I own these. They are balanced throwing knives, and as such have no hook or hole by which to attach to a belt. The belt would need to "holster" the knife in order to keep the knife in position.

Yes, it is adjustable. In the pic you can see the stone is attached to a horizontal rod which is secured to a vertical rod with a set screw. If you loosen the set screw, you can move the rod with the stone attached up or down to make a larger or smaller angle. I think the details given mean to convey that once the angle is chosen and the rod is locked down your chosen angle will be maintained while you sharpen.

The razon I received was different than the one pictured BUT so far I'm satisfied with it. And in respond to your question, I have not found/noticed any mechanism to let "me" change the angle of the blade.

i bought this knife just to learn how to handle this Scandi thing. i admit, i was gutting a deer and gave it a touch up with my Accusharp. clearly the wrong tool..but the ground didnt open up and swallow me whole. the blade got super sharp actually. (i then cut the !@#$!@#$! out of my pinkie finger).at home, i used my Spyderco sharpmaker. i laid the ceramic stick down on the flat notch. (horizontal) and honored the Scandi..just laid it down to match the clearly obvious bevel..several swipes..and then my leather block strop..whoa!! i had to put the knife down!! my pinkie finger was twitching in fear. it is sharper than OEM now. i bought this knife just to learn how to handle this Scandi thing. i admit, i was gutting a deer and gave it a touch up with my Accusharp. clearly the wrong tool..but the ground didnt open up and swallow me whole. the blade got super sharp actually.

OK its recommended that you use 10 to 15 degree angle when sharpening these knives. I usually put 2 quarters between the back of the blade and the stone that will give you an idea of the correct angle

It is ABS with a detent so knife will not come out. Fits very well. I collect and have a lot of knives . I use mine in Alaska on hunting trips. For the money , u can't beat it. It also holds an edge also.

Brian, let me preface what I'm about to say by letting you know I'm no expert on knives and the like but after looking at the groove I really don't see any real practical use for it. I even used the back edge of my knife to see if you could slide it in and help you open it but it really wasn't that usefull. So my guess is that it is mostly cosmetic or it is there so you can feel what side has the stone in it - in case you're in a low-light situation when you want to use it. Sorry I couldn't be more helpfullTed

no. you don't have a good way of holding the correct angle on the tool. If you don't need a perfect angle, you might be able to free hand it.

Yes you can adjust the angle. Once adjusted it is fixed. Words... :-) There are marked lines for the standard angles, but any angle within the range is possible. They sent a sharpie type pen with it to mark the blade edge. Then you move the stone across the edge adjusting the angle so the ink comes off evenly. That matches the angle of the knife to the sharpener and you work through the stones til it is a polished edge.

You need a square or a ruler or some other object with a flat edge to be your guide for a straight line, and then you push the tip of the knife down into what you're cutting, and pull back towards you. The blade is kind of hook-shaped. You're taking that "hooK" tip and pushing down and pulling towards you. At least, that's how I use it. I could be doing it all wrong. Heh.

Yes. You can set any angle you wish, simply retract the locking tooth & secure it out of the way by tightening it's handle. Then when you have reached the desired angle with the protractor, tighten the knob/ handle and your angle is secured.
