TormekSVM-00 Small Knife Holder for Use with SVM-45 Knife Jig/For Sharpening Small Blades

The small blade adapter from Wcked Edge is expensive. The small blade adapter should have been included with the Wicked Edge system. Found some you tube videos recommending this item. It works as advertised. Holds a small blade very securely with no wiggle. I tested its compatibility with my WE system and it works just fine. Sharpened the blade of a Victorinox SAK without any problems or difficulty. I would recommend this over the WE version.

This will help with small knives to medium knives and really helps with keeping a precise angle

Have to add shims for offset blades, like those in multitools. Works great and clamps well. Blade rigidity is up to the handle after that.

I don't have a Tormek, but my cobbled-together collection of guided sharpeners always struggle with smaller knives. Well, with this I was able to perfectly lock in a tiny Swiss Army key-chain knife, and put a perfectly even edge on it (the steel is still crap, but man is it sharp).I'm kinda annoyed at how simple this concept is for the price, but it just works so I bit the bullet and got it. Very happy I did!

I bought this to use with my Gatco guided knife sharpener. This thing works fantasticly for my small knives and my wood carving tools. Simple to use and easy setup. FANTASTIC.

Overpriced crap. They should have designed a real holder for small blades. This level of adapter on adapter is worthy of Ford stupidity of bracketry where they use an alternator for all engines by putting bracket on bracket on bracket. I am disappointed in how difficult this is to use and will build my own adapter when I get the CNC running.

The Tormek SMV-00 Small Knife Holder is an essential tool for sharpening small knives in almost any guided sharpening system.

I use this with my Wicked Edge sharpener to hold small knives that do not clamp well in the Wicked Edge vise jaws. Works VERY well, almost like it was made to use with the Wicked edge sharpener. I only gave it a four star rating because even when clamped tightly there is still a possibility of the knife moving of one were to use too much force when sharpening. The portion of this unit that secures the knife is made of a resilient plastic so as not to mar the knife, but this will also allow some movement of the knife if one presses hard enough. Solution? Don't press too hard - let the abrasive do the work. When used properly, this device solves a huge problem with the Wicked Edge sharpener - blades that are too small for the vise jaws. Keep in mind that the potential movement I'm talking about is very small and easily avoided. A much bigger problem I've seen when using this adapter with folding knives is the movement of the blade caused by a loose pivot on the knife itself. Some folder pivot joints can be tightened with a screw to prevent this, but I have yet to find a solution for traditional slip-joint folders that are loose.
