Depending on the grind (FFG, Saber etc.) of your knives and the spine thickness, either the K03 or KakBritva fillet clamps could possibly work. They allow very similar geometry. The K03 Whole milled fillet clamps allow a maximum spine thickness of 3.5mm, and these specific KakBritva whole milled fillet clamps allow a spine thickness of up to 4mm. The max spine thickness guidance works best for very wide, thin blades or for narrow blades that do not have a full flat grind profile.
I would go with the KakBritva clamps as they are good value for money, but you will have to make sure you clamp your knife with one clamp on the flat parallel ground "tang" section of the blade (just in front of your handle). If it is a long, flexible blade then use the second clamp about an inch or so back from the tip for secondary support.
Personally, I prefer the flexibility of a magnetic platform (rather than clamps) for small blades that require a low sharpening angle.
