D1118 Sharpening Stone Set by Steelex Review

I've learned that craftsmanship is everything in the world of hand sharpening. This block will hold any angle you set the blade at. This device works with planes and chisels, but I'd buy some DMT sharpening stones if you're serious about your edges.

Sharpening Guide holds the chisel well and keeps it straight and level while sharpening. It is very easy to use and gives my tool a good edge. The only problem is the stone, which stuck together very quickly and interfered with sharpening. I think the tool (sharpening guide) will still be worth it if I find a better stone to use.

The old adage "You get what you pay for" applies to this product. It holds my hand plane blades very well, but not a standard woodworking chisel. This is actually very bad because a simple design change can make this product really good. The sides that press against the bit just aren't high enough to hold the bit. I've since switched to Lee Valley's Veritas MKII sharpening guide.
