Lie-Nielsen Side-Clamp Honing Guide

Lie-Nielsen has turbo-charged both the design and quality of the long lived, economy made, side-clamp style honing guides. While patterned after the popular Eclipse honing guide, Lie Nielsen has perfected every detail and added their own ingenuity like designing replaceable jaws so you can sharpen a more complete range of blades and chisels.

Impeccably crafted from stainless steel, this Lie Nielsen guide has a bronze bearing for long life. A finely threaded main screw precisely moves the guide’s standard jaws (included with the Honing Guide) for clamping to the edges of your irons up to 3″ wide and for chisels as narrow as 1/4″. A brass knurled knob with driver slot lets you snug the guide’s jaws in place. Unlike honing jigs with a wide wheel, this jig’s narrower wheel makes it easy to steer the jig with finger pressure, should you want to add camber or ease the outside corners of your irons.
