Glad you enjoyed it.

Bought myself exactly the same honing guide. Not the angle guide, making my own stop guide to save some pennies. Use a Trend 300/1000 diamond plate + 4000 Shapton glass stone, might buy a 8000 later. Will make a leather strop later as well.

The angle guide isn’t needed since you can just use the honing guide to figure out the angle but I didn’t realize that until after I bought it. The 8000 is going to make a difference on getting really close to a razor sharp blade and then making your own leather strop is wise. Very well done.

What are you thoughts on the brass wheels over the stones? Thinking to make new wheels out of PA6 or POM rod. Putting o-ring on them only work when they are placed on the outer side of the guide is my experience due to small clearance between wheel and inside housing.

So far mine have been holding up and remember to push down on the blade when you’re sharpening and not the honing guide itself. If you do replace them let me know how it works out.
