Richard Kell Toolmakers - Honing Guide
The Kell guide is very stable, even with narrow chisels, and allows you to lap the back of a blade while it’s clamped in place.
Oct 01, 2005
The Kell honing guide is an exquisite tool made from brass and stainless steel, with smooth-gliding rollers. The horizontal clamping mechanism automatically registers a blade perpendicular to the stone, and the knob is easy to grasp. The guide is very stable, even with narrow chisels, and allows you to lap the back of a blade while it’s clamped in place. The extrawide guide accepts blades up to 2-7/8 in. wide; the standard guide accepts blades up to 1-5/16 in. wide. For wide blades or narrow stones, a supplemental support surface may be necessary.
