Knife makers have asked me for over a decade: "why did you call this thing a Bubble Jig Fred ?" After many discussions about what constitutes a "jig" I must admit I did a poor job of naming this tool. For this is not a jig at all; it's a sight reference. It allows the grinder to make use of his eyes to to reproduce grinds. It doesn't really hold a blade in a fixed position when grinding.
So you'll notice in the thread title that we've added that this is a [SR] sight reference tool and not really a jig.
In retrospect I wish I had spent more time in choosing a name, but like many things in life, it just happens as we are trying to do our best.
