Further to my query about the scary sharp method of honing using
wet-or-dry, I have to admit that my old Eclipse 36 honing guide is
pretty crap, really. It's a real pain to get the chisel at the right
projection AND square in the guide.

Now, I've heard a lot about the Veritas Mark II honing guide and
looked it up on Amazon. Talk about falling off one's chair! A few
pence shy of £54! Man, that's expensive. But is it worth it?

Looks like a decent, precision made tool, however.

I did get a good result in the end from my Eclipse, but it takes a
fair bit of trial and error to get that chisel sitting just right.
Probably easier for plane blades.
