Good enough - hand tool

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…

Pros
  • Rubber pad does not slip when sharpening

Maintainable and not overpriced

The holder comes without instructions and has some features that need to be…

Pros
  • Easy honing with whetstone holder D1091
Cons
  • Disappear
