An ultra precise, user friendly guided sharpening system or knife sharpening system Jende Industries Guided Sharpener or Jende JIGS for short are easy and intuitive to use. It’s one of the best guided sharpening systems available on the market.
Clamp, Set your angle, and Go, As quick and simple. It has movable clamps that adjust quickly to fit any length of blade and get a precise angle adjustment that is easy and repeatable all day long with the exacudrive. Watch our how-to videos below, or go to our JIGS Instructional video playlist to see them all.
This Knife Sharpening System includes an Acrylic base, IP 65 waterproof angle cube, 3mm hex tool, five standard 1×6 sharpening stones: 220, 1K Naniwa starter stones, and 600, 1K, and 3K Chosera stones.
This is the Jende JIGS 2.0 version, which incorporated the minor tweaks from the 1.0 version, which included the stronger spring tension on the rotary, and the Teflon collars on the Exacudrive. The biggest improvements to the 2.0 is a stainless steel rotary (which was brass before), and the crossbar is now magnetic so it is easier to zero out the angle cube before sharpening.
There are 2 additions to the JIGS 2.0: The first is an extension to the exacudrive for big knives like the FN Big Taiwan Tuna Knives, which can add about 8 degrees to the height. On the other end, there is a small knife clamp attachment that inserts into the existing clamps, which lower the angle by about 4 degrees.

The JIGS is easy to use and built like a brick Sh*thouse. This thing is solid. My chef knives have never been sharper, and I know this will last forever.

I love how rock solid the system is and the clamps work is fantastic you put a blade in.and it stay deos great with full flat grind blades and the execudrive is awsome really helpful when changing stones of different thickness get right on the angle perfect is it pricey yes but worth every penny you pay for a great quality system and you will never have to buy another system again the only slight nitpick I have is kme stones do not fit very securely in the stone holder im sure if you glued them on some backing plates it would work.all in all very pleased with my purchase

A Square, Solid & Stable Sharpening System. I love sharpening knives and I found JIGS from a local YouTube review,. The system is one of the best value and it came with practically everything that is needed to sharpen a dull knife. The Exacudrive makes precise angle adjustment easy and best of all, the system can be cleaned in a dishwasher.

I am a pro chef and have used just about every guided sharpening system out. This is hands down the best one I have touched. Pair it with a set of Chosera stones and it can’t be stopped. Got up to speed on a cheap stainless knife, almost polished edge coming off the 1k stone. Then went to aogami blue 2, and thats when the JIGS shines. The feedback through the machine was close to hand sharpening, I could feel the imperfections in the steel through the handle. The quality is second to none, everything is heavy duty and precise. The adjustability makes switching stones take no time at all. I could not be happier with my purchase. I could not be happier with my purchase. Thank you Tom!
