The Galbert Drawsharp is an ingenious yet simple jig for putting a consistent, repeatable razor-sharp edge on any drawknife.
The Galbert Drawsharp is an ingenious yet simple jig for putting a consistent, repeatable razor-sharp edge on any drawknife. It is designed so that the cutting edge faces away from your body and hands, and the honing action is parallel to the blade, with your fingers safely behind the cutting edge at all times. If you've shied away from drawknives because of sharpening, the Drawsharp will open the door to this wonderful tool. The package includes enough abrasive for dozens of sharpenings. Made in the USA.

There are several good ways to sharpen chisels and plane irons: water stones, diamond stones, oil stones and sharpening machines such as Tormek. All give sharp edges, but they differ in speed, maintenance and price.
A honing guide makes it easier to keep the same angle every time. The most important thing is to find a method you enjoy and use often. The guide helps you choose.
A honing guide holds the tool at the right angle to the stone. A side-clamping honing guide grips the tool from the sides and suits chisels and narrow plane irons well. A top-clamping honing guide holds from the top and also handles blades with bevelled sides and unusual shapes.
Both work well, and the choice depends on the tools you have. The guide compares the types.
