View attachment 716118 This jig will hold about any stone at any angle. Just point the edge at the center of the earth and sharpen away.
Sweet ! !For those who are wondering, the stones I use are a DMT Diafold (coarse/extra-coarse), Smith's diamond conical sharpener (for serrations), and a Spyderco Ultra-Fine Triangle Sharpener. I find that these are all I need and have had good results jumping straight from the coarse DMT directly to the Ultra-Fine.
Sweet ! !
Yes the coarse is a must to get it done quick and I do like refined edges so the Ultra-Fine is my old pal there.
Do you reset the angle so there is less bevel on the Ultra-Fine or use the exact same angle as used on the coarse/extra-coarse ?
Wow; I'm honored.When I sharpen, not just a quick touch up, I'll completely sharpen to 30°, finishing with the Ultra Fine. Generally, I like to have the main bevel at 30°, then touch ups at 40°. It does make touch ups quicker.
Wow; I'm honored.

Have a great New Year sir ! ! !
Your pic isn't showing. Could you try again? I'd be eager to see what you have done as I have a crude copy (of a Tsprof) of my own being currently builtMy crude copy of a Russian sharpener I saw on the net.
Thanks for the interest. Yeah I need to set up a flickr or similar account. In the meantime here's a video of the style of sharpener I'm referring to.Your pic isn't showing. Could you try again?
