The Veritas Mk.II Deluxe Honing Guide Set is the full Mk.II system, with both clamping heads and both rollers, for blades from 1/8 to 2-7/8 in wide.
It includes the standard and narrow-blade clamping heads, an angle registration jig, a straight roller base and a camber roller base. The standard head takes flat and tapered blades 1/2 to 2-7/8 in wide and up to 15/32 in thick, including skew blades, and hones bevels from 15 to 54 degrees. The narrow-blade head takes blades 1/8 to 1-1/2 in wide, bevel-edged chisels up to 15/32 in thick and square-edged ones up to 11/32 in, and hones bevels from 15 to 40 degrees. Both hone back bevels from 10 to 20 degrees.
The straight roller hones straight edges. The barrel-shaped camber roller lets you rock the guide slightly to hone a slight camber into a blade. The Veritas Skew Registration Jig is sold separately, and we carry it.
