Review on Steelex D1091 Sharpening Stone Holder for Ultimate Precision by Marlin Atonyo

It does what it's advertised to do and will hold almost any stone between 5.5" and 9" long. The downside is that the cheap design is pretty obvious and you need to do some fine tuning to make this holder work. for you.1. The threads on the guides are uneven and the nuts bind in certain places on initial adjustment. You'll probably need some oil and a pair of pliers to run the nuts up and down a few times before they stop snagging. Rubber pads can be uneven. In my case, the middle pad was sticking out at the bottom, causing the stand to rock. You can fix this by sanding down the liner that is causing the problem. In fact, you could also sand the bottom of all the pads a little, that will help them stick better.3. The end caps on the rails are loose. You can fix this by throwing the caps in the trash. Either way, they're practically useless. Any issues with this gem holder are very easy to fix, so for the price it's hard to fault it.
