The Veritas Honing Guide is Veritas's original honing guide for chisels and plane blades up to 2-3/8 in wide and 5/8 in thick.

A wide swivel foot, driven by a large knurled brass knob, clamps the blade. The guide rides on a wide brass roller set on an eccentric axle. Turn the axle to raise the angle 1 or 2 degrees and hone a micro-bevel without unclamping or resetting the blade. The main frame is die-cast, and the other parts are brass and steel.

Leonard Lee founded Lee Valley Tools in Ottawa, Ontario, in 1978. The company began making its own tools in 1982 with the Veritas Dovetail Marker, and Veritas is now its manufacturing arm. Lee Valley is still family-owned, with Robin Lee as CEO.
