The Veritas Mk.II Narrow-Blade Honing Guide is the Mk.II honing guide set up for narrow chisels and blades, 1/8 to 1-1/2 in wide.
It comes with the narrow-blade clamping head, a standard roller base and an angle registration jig. Parallel jaws clamp the blade from the sides so it stays square to the jig, and the jaws are canted to keep it centered and tight against the reference face. It holds bevel-edged chisels up to 15/32 in thick and square-edged chisels up to 11/32 in thick.
It hones bevels from 15 to 40 degrees and back bevels from 10 to 20 degrees. The roller attaches with a single thumbscrew, and its eccentric axle adds a micro-bevel at any setting with a turn of a knob.
