The Amazing and Unique BAZ™ Knife Sharpening Jig Handle V4.0 bolts straight onto self-centering knife jigs such as the KJ-45* and KJ-140*, found on many leading water-cooled sharpening systems, giving a firmer, more natural hold for smoother, more consistent sharpening strokes.
Based on thousands of hours using systems of this style, this 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 4.0 features a thicker, more robust shaft and slightly wider 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

Exemplary service and great add on tool. Fits perfectly.
I received the jig handles about a month ago. I've been pretty busy lately and wasn't able to try these out until this weekend. I am totally impressed with them. Very easy and quick to install. The thumb cup is really comfortable making it easy to control the jig. The extra large base allows for a completely stable ride across the support bar. I am very pleased with them and thank you Baz for coming up with this and offering them for sale. Well worth the money.
I live in Portugal and purchased both the BAZ Handle and the diamond plates. All products perform flawlessly. Most importantly, these are not cheap products manufactured in the tens of thousands and marketed by some unreachable and obscure entity. Behind the BAZ and the other items sold on the virtual shop there is a real entrepreneur who verifies each order and takes it to the post office making sure to ship promptly and to the correct address. So, thank you from the other side of the world for making my sharpening life a lot easier.

This is the best upgrade I have made for my tormek. At first, I wasn’t sold when I made the change from the standard handle. After sharpening a few knives, I realized I could never go back the standard handle. I am a professional sharpener and do a few hundred knives a month.
Baez’s handles are a massive improvement over the tormek design. Highly recommended!
