You'll love this new design 5.0 custom jig handle because it makes knife sharpening so much easier by stabilising the Tormek KJ knife jigs. Screws straight on very easily and is ready to use in minutes. It offers a firmer, more natural hold for smoother, more consistent sharpening strokes.

Based on thousands of hours using systems of this style, this new v5.0 handle was engineered through real-world experience — not theory. It’s the strongest and most refined version yet, featuring a 100% solid-fill design tested under extreme stress levels.
Ready to bolt on with no modifications, no glue, no hacks required. Just a heavier-duty, better-balanced handle that makes every pass on the grinding wheel calmer, straighter, safer and more predictable.
The new Version 5.0 features a thicker, more robust 100% solid shaft and a roomier thumb cup for even more stability and strength.
⚙️ Key Benefits
• More control, less wobble – thumb-cup and grip geometry give stable pressure and cleaner strokes.
• Comfort that lasts – neutral wrist position reduces hand fatigue during long sessions.
• Bolt-on simplicity – installs in about 60 seconds; no cutting or gluing.
• Built to work – solid, heavy-duty feel that turns your jig into a tool, not a toy.
🔩 Features → What You Feel
• Wider thumb-cup dome → precise tip control and pressure without finger strain.
• Wider guard / flange → confident palm index; keeps your hand off the wheel splash.
• Super-reinforced neck → firm leverage with almost zero flex.
• Lightly textured finish → secure grip, even when wet.
• Ambidextrous → identical control left- or right-handed.

🕒 60-Second, 3-Step Install
• Remove the factory handle from the jig — be careful not to lose the springs.
• Seat the BAZ™ Hybrid HD Handle V5.0 on the metal boss and align holes.
⚠️ Install the small-hole side first, double-hole side last. Be gentle.
• Finger-tighten both installation screws, then snug evenly.
• When using; always make sure the second (larger) tightening screw is loose and fully undone before tightening the number 1 (smaller) screw to grip the blade as snug as possible before securing it with the second large screw.
