Abstract
A method and apparatus for clamping a knife. A front side of the knife includes a recess and the knife is clamped between an outer clamping member adapted to receive the back side of the knife, and a inner clamping member adapted to receive the front side of the knife, the inner clamping member making contact with the front side of the knife at two spaced locations thereon, wherein at least one of the locations is outside the recess and the other is inside the recess, wherein the width of the recess normalized by the overall width of the knife yields a result that is preferably no more than about 0.22.
