Reply To: Flexible Kitchen Knives
I picked up a new RAM mount – suction cup mounted to the table/desk top just in front of the Gen 3 Pro. It works really well, although I’ve only done one knife so far. It clamps on the knife’s handle and lets you move the blade back to a minimum amount of blade tip extending out of the vise. No more using my fingers to support a flexy knife.
The arm is actually extra long, and I moved the mount to the side to show how adaptable it is.

Edit note: I’ve removed the links because they weren’t working correctly – probably because the items were linked to my past orders. Please copy and paste the part numbers in Amazon’s search box.
One additional comment. The first knife I sharpened this way wasn’t particularly long, so tonight (11/24) I sharpened the knife as shown in the photo and couldn’t believe how solidly it was clamped. Works great!
