Trend Honing Guide Diamond Stone Tool Sharpening Set, Ensures Accurate Angles and Precise Sharpening, DWS/HG/SET

Simple but works really well

Wide roller helps keep stones flat for longer. Simple to use, and provides a consistent honing angle. Well worth the money.

This guide is definitely a step up from the basic ‘eclipse’ style ones you get in ‘sharpening sets’ along with an oilstone, and it’s pretty well made, with a nice full-width roller to give it stability. But it’s still a bit of a faff to hold the blade square in the guide while setting it to the right protrusion (despite the handy jig) and then locking it tightly in place without it shifting a bit in the process. I find myself spending too much time on that bit of the process. The locking screws needed a touch of WD, and even then, they’re made a bit sticky in their movement by the black japanning, which I think was a bit of style over substance. Maybe stainless steel threads would be functionally better? Overall, I can use it for now - but I think that now I’ve wandered into this price bracket, I’ll trade up at some point and get the Veritas one...

The sliding clamp jaws have too much free allowance causing chisels to tilt, resulting in an uneven honing cut, more so with narrower chisels. I would have expected better quality from Trend, but trusting the brand, I hadn't read the 1 star reviews for this brand and many others, I have returned for refund and ordered the Veritas MK2 deluxe considerably cheaper from another supplier.

There are most definitely cheaper alternatives, that do a pretty good job, but I took the plunge and bought the Trend honing guide and this is on another level. A really good honing guide and the plate to help set the angle you require is also very helpful and easy to use. I would recommend this despite the higher price tag.

ideal for them quick touch ups while working easy to set up and well made

An excellent way to set up the correct honing angles for chisels etc. Very easy to use.

This item looks like it has been a return. Item in box is ok but box has definitely been opened as bar code is torn.

Satisfacción con la herramienta, la he usado bastante para afilar mis formones con muy buenos resultados.

Mycket bra

Ce produit est exactement ce que je recherchais pour affuter mes ciseaux à bois, usinage des pièces de qualité, fonctionnement doux, sans points durs, reglage facile du ciseau et point positif le support est fourni avec un guide pour régler l'angle d'affutage. Rien a voir avec les produits a 10/15 euros. Ce guide est certes plus cher mais on en a pour son argent. A acheter les yeux fermés.

Great

Per chi si cimenta con gli scalpelli da legno non può farne a meno ,non ha il costo della nota marca ma garantisco che funziona veramente bene salvo le dovute accortezze ,consigliatissima.
