Great tool
This little tool takes all the guesswork out of freehand sharpening. I used to struggle to keep a steady angle on my whetstone, but this guide gives you an instant, repeatable reference point. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a sharp edge without ruining their blade angle.

Exactly what I was looking for
Simple, adequately priced (cheaper than the similar items at other retailers), works exactly as intended.

A great tool that saves you from the hassle
Absolutely wonderful to have a something that shows the correct angle for both European and Japanese knives. And that doesn’t need to be clamped onto the knife. It will save you the trouble of having to find certain objects and things that can be used to find the correct angle for your knives. The size of it worked well for pairing knives, large chef knives, and everything in between.
