The Sorrells Brick – Walter Sorrells Precision Knife Grinding Jig

Designed by renowned American bladesmith Walter Sorrells, The Sorrells Brick is a precision-machined knife grinding jig created to give makers consistent, repeatable bevels with zero setup time. Machined from solid steel, each of the four faces provides a fixed bevel angle — 3°, 4°, 5° and 7° — making it ideal for grinding small to medium-sized knives accurately.

Just place the Sorrells Brick on your grinder’s platen, select the angle you want, and rest your blade against it. The weight, stability and machining quality make it incredibly easy to achieve clean, even bevels without drift or recalibration.
