What this tool adds
What this tool adds to your bench
The registration system is the reason to compare the Mk.II Standard with a simpler roller guide. Its separate jig squares the blade and sets its projection from the carrier, helping you return to a chosen setup when the edge needs attention again.
The carrier clamps against the blade face and is described for flat or tapered blades. The selected source gives a nominal6–72 mm blade-width range. Cross-section and thickness still matter, especially if the blade is unusually narrow, thick or irregular in shape.
The guide provides standard, high-angle and back-bevel configurations. An eccentric roller control allows a micro-bevel change without starting the blade setup again. Those are adjustment functions to compare with a guide that relies only on how far the blade projects from its jaws.
The offer is the guide system and registration jig; the sharpening stone is not included. Confirm the permitted blade thickness for the chosen configuration before buying:the available thickness figures differ. Compare the WoodRiver stepped-jaw guide for a simpler arrangement, or the handled Kakuri guide for its different grip and blade support.
Choose for your actual work
- Choose for repeatable registration and micro-bevel adjustment.
- Check blade thickness in the specific angle configuration.
Fit checks & limits
- Confirm the manufacturer part number when choosing model-specific accessories.
- Available maximum-thickness figures differ; no universal13 mm limit is promised.
- No all-blade-shape compatibility is established.
Questions before you choose
Why choose this over a basic side-clamping guide?
Its registration jig sets blade squareness and projection, and its eccentric roller provides a micro-bevel adjustment. Compare those setup features with the simpler WoodRiver stepped-jaw format.
Can I rely on the 13 mm thickness figure?
Confirm the actual configuration first. The selected description and indexed maker instructions give different thickness limits, and the maker distinguishes angle configurations.
Is an abrasive stone supplied?
The selected description explicitly excludes the stone. Choose a suitable abrasive surface separately for the blade and sharpening task.
