Knife guard/lateral movement for knife holder CN

The knife guard (18) is fixed and integrated into the clamping jaws. The knife guard has handles (19) that allow it to be moved. The knife guard is adequate for knives up to 22 cm in length. Always cover exposed parts of the knife blade after sectioning.

The anti-roll guide system can be moved side- ways (only for the 84 mm variant). To better find the mid position, a groove (17) is provided in the shaft (16).
