The Woodpeckers Sharpening System provides a precise and repeatable way to sharpen chisels and plane irons using bench stones. Designed to make sharpening easier and more consistent than working freehand, the system combines a stable two-roller honing guide with dedicated tools for accurately setting and checking sharpening angles.
Unlike conventional single-roller guides, the Woodpeckers Sharpening Guide uses two rollers to provide stable support throughout the sharpening stroke. Precision-machined shoulders hold the blade square within the guide, while two roller positions accommodate different tool widths. The outer position suits blades from 3.2mm (1/8
The Sharpening Angle Fixture provides positive reference settings for primary bevel angles from 15° to 45° in 5° increments, together with a 2° micro-bevel offset for each setting. This makes it easy to reproduce the same sharpening angle when returning a tool to the stones. The separate Sharpening Angle Gauge provides quick references for checking common bevel angles before or after sharpening. Corrosion-resistant components make the guide suitable for use with waterstones as well as other suitable bench sharpening stones.
