The low price is a big plus with this generic honing guide. Sold under different brand names and from a variety of sources, the guide is easy to use. It allows you to lap the back of a blade easily. The horizontal clamping mechanism sets most wide blades perpendicular to the stone. However, one jaw of the clamping mechanism is slightly convex, which caused my 1/4-in. stubby chisel to twist in the jaws and my 1/8-in. chisel to pop out repeatedly.
