VERITAS - If this is not the final word on honing guides then it must be close. It deals with squaring the tool, tool projection (and therefore resulting angle) and retains the three position raise and lower roller on a eccentric cam from its earlier model. This accessory achieves the rare feat of being capable of both great complexity and simplicity. All metal construction with the same ultra stable roller of earlier version.
