How to ID TSPROF Center Fillet va TSPROF standard center clamp? C03 центральний адаптер затискач

Both are shown as having black jaws and a silver frame, although on the TSPROF site the fillet has silver jaws. I was sent what I thought to be the center fillet, but it has black jaws. I'm just trying to avoid going beyond 2.5 mm spine thickness and damaging the jaws. If I had both center clamps I don't know how I'd tell them apart...

ALSO, if I do need a standard center clamp, am I correct in that I can reproduce that with my standard whole milled clamps by just getting the L adapters? Seems that would offer the same solution as getting the standard center clamp for a bit less. Thanks!

Yes, with the L-adapters you can do the same things as a center clamp. As far as the fillet clamps go, Gritomatic likely just has an older generation photo where they are both the same color. Having a fillet vs standard clamp side by side, you will clearly see the difference of the fillet clamp being much thinner with a lower profile.

Thank you for the information (I couldn’t find my original account so asked this as a guest, and also mistakenly selected this “K03 Center Clamp Adapter” as the topic rather than just “K03 Center Clamp.”.).

I think you’re exactly right and TSPROF has simply upgraded the product / picture. I’ve used this center fillet clamp for small Swiss Army knives, but was moving into some thicker folding knife blades and was routinely going past 3 mm. That’s about it with this clamp though I could probably push it to 3.5mm. Then I started looking at pics of the regular center clamp and got myself confused. Thanks also for the info on the L clamps; rather than getting the standard center clamp I think I’ll just get those and use my regular whole milled clamps together for smaller folding knives, and have the best of both worlds for a little less $. Also, this center clamp adapter I linked to this question doesn’t seem to be as good a solution, as with the L adapters you can also go very wide if needed. Thanks again. 👍

No problem. Yeah, I would personally rather go for either the TSProf or KakBritva L adapters. Links below for you.

Strictly speaking, you don't actually need L adapters at all for sharpening smaller blades. You can install both clamps on one side of the bar and sharpen your knife off to the side without any effect on your sharpening angle. It is in fact my preferred method, as it helps sharpening all the way to the plunge grind line (if a knife has a pronounced plunge grind line and no choil) because you can adjust the knife to the point where your stone parallels the plunge grind on a knife. Where L adapters would come in handy, is installation off to the far sides, facing outward like you mentioned for bigger blades.

No problem. Just another note for your reference - as long as you square your digital angle cube with the clamp bar, and not use the angle cube at an angle, you can still measure your angles off to the side. Or alternatively, use the TSProf Axicube if you have one - those are some of the only angle cubes designed to measure correctly at a skewed angle.
