Whetstone Knife Sharpening Angle Guide by Sharp Pebble

It works very well I got my favorite knife to shave using this guide and a 1000 6000 grit stone and then a stroop There’s no need to say anything else

This simple, slide-on angle guide does help maintain a consistent angle when sharpening a knife. I am not an expert sharpener and I do not trust myself to maintain the same angle for both sides of the blade and while stepping through different levels of abrasives. I am currently experimenting with the "Scary Sharp" approach, using 3M honing film mounted on float glass, to sharpen some of my older kitchen knives. The guide does help but for a really sharp edge, after setting the bevels and polishing to 12 micron/1200 grit, I finish with 9 micron/1800 grit. And I have to roll the guide up off the back just a couple of degrees to finish with the last half dozen strokes. And I do this for both sides of the knife, of course. The Scary Sharp approach is being adopted by many woodworkers for their flat chisel and plane blades. Most highly recommend using a bevel guide of one sort or another. It is also being used by Straight Razor enthusiasts, though the one tutorial video did not show a bevel guide being used. Given my stated above lack of confidence in my ability to maintain an identical bevel for both sides as I step through 40/30/12/9 micron honing films, a guide of some sort seemed mandatory. And this one is working for me well. I even used it with some 120 grit wet/dry sanding paper to remove larger nicks in the kitchen knives The ceramic rod at the back of the guide slipped over all of the various levels of abrasives quite well. The price seems a bit high for what it is. But most competitor guides were similarly priced. One guide is significantly cheaper but comes from overseas and takes weeks to arrive. I would buy this guide again. as it is well made and delivered very quickly.

Works great on kitchen knives and some of my EDCs.

takes a little practice but does the job. Rinse well when moving along bigger knives or you may get fine scratches.

This Angle Guide takes the guesswork out of the 'what angle am I going for" question. The guide moves effortlessly and smoothly over the stone and guides the knife blade consistently until sharpened. The results for the blade are a welcome change to erratic edges on large knives.
