An excellent sharpening jig
Solidly built and very easy to use. Different angles can be set on the jig and an additional (replacement) clamp can be used for less-wide blades. This is easy to use, ESPECIALLY if you are new to blade honing, or are maybe a little wobbly or shaky. Buy it!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Idiot proof way to sharpen your chisels and plane blades.
Usin the Veritas Mk.II honing system is simplicity itself, clear, concise instructions are written in a booklet inside the box, and in no time at all you can achieve the correct angle on all you chisels and plane blades. It does not matter if you use wet and dry paper stuck onto a piece of glass or diamond lapping plates, your chisels will soon have a degree of sharpness that is easy to accomplish and infinately repeatable. Proffessional woodworkers can sharpen thier chisels by hand and eye, and I envy them this ability, but for the rest of us, the Veritas Mk.II honing guide is the answer to our prayers.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

very well engineered
I was attracted by the many positive reviews. This really does live up to the hype. Very well manufactured and designed to fit hands! makes honing/regrinding a breeze .. I had badly messed up the angles on my plane blades, not possessing the awesome skill set of the "ancient ones" who seem to be able to do this freehand. If you, like me, lack confidence, then this is MUST buy.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Only really half a tool.
I am glad that I bought this honing guide because it is billiant in us and has given me a whole set of super-sharp tools. My dissapointment is the performance with chisels. The chisel and narrow tool guide is an optional extra and without it the chisel can move off square. The old Eclipse No36 that I have been using does both widths, at a fraction of the cost.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Simply brilliant!
Everyone should own one of these! I'm a professional woodworker and trained the old way. Sharpening by hand is paramount and this little gadget simply helps make it just a little bit faster and more accurate. I use it mostly with the lower grit stones and final honing by hand. Just a pleasure to use!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Very Good Veritas
May seem expensive but I wish I’d bought one years ago. Seemed a bit fiddly at first to set up each chisel but it soon became second nature. I look forward to many years of use and the repeatability of the right angles and micro bevels.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Superb quality
Yes, this might be a lot of money for a honing guide but you get what you pay for and this guide oozes quality. If like me you take sharping very seriously, then spend the extra and have the best honing jig around, you won't be disappointed.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Fantastic !
I sold my last honing guide to free hand sharpen however I've notice my chisels are not as sharp as they could be . Straight out of the box the honing guide gives you the perfect angles for your planes and chisels.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
