Veritas - Honing Guide Mk.II
This guide is comfortable to use and is very stable because of its 2-in.-long single roller.
Oct 01, 2005
The Veritas Mk.II is an impressive tool. With its smooth, rounded edges and strategically placed indents for fingers, the jig is comfortable to use and is very stable because of its 2-in.-long single roller. You can achieve a secondary bevel with the turn of a knob on the side of the jig. The revolutionary color-coded blade-registration jig engages a slot on the front of the jig body and makes it easy to set a blade not only to the desired honing angle (from 10° to 54°) but also square to the stone. The instructions are well written and easy to comprehend.
