Veritas Mk.II Standard Honing Guide

The jig slides onto the guide body and centers and squares the blade with an integral fence.

The blade stop has discrete positions for preset bevel angles.

A micro-bevel is a small secondary bevel added at the very tip of the cutting edge, one to two degrees steeper than the primary bevel. Because only a tiny strip of steel touches the stone, re-honing the edge is quick — you only need to maintain the micro-bevel between full sharpenings. The eccentric roller on this guide creates micro-bevels at three consistent angles with a single knob turn.

Yes, the guide accepts blades from 1/2" to 2 7/8" wide and up to 15/32" thick, which covers most standard bench plane blades and bench chisels.

Yes, the guide is designed for use on flat sharpening stones including water stones (aluminum oxide), ceramic stones and diamond plates. The roller maintains consistent blade-to-stone contact as you work across the stone's surface.

The registration jig includes a blade stop with discrete positions that correspond to common bevel angles. Set the blade projection using the stop, clamp it in the guide and the correct angle is established.
