Key benefits Enables controlled, repeatable blade sharpening with adjustable guides and rails Safe handling with clearly defined orientations (blade edge, abrasive, and guiding surfaces) Flexible workflow with multiple methods to accommodate different blade and abrasive setups Precise edge control through deliberate push/pull motions and alternating guide usage Compatible with railbased setups and a guide cabinet for stable operation Suitable for careful maintenance of leather blades and other tool blades in a workshop What this product is designed to do Provide a guided system to polish or sharpen blades along an abrasive surface Offer different method options (Method 3 and Method 2) plus a Usage step to suit varying tasks Promote even, consistent strokes to reduce uneven wear and improve blade performance Product details and compatibility Construction uses a holder, leather blade, rails, a guide cabinet, and an adjustable knob Includes opposite guides for alternating stroke action Designed to work with a railfocused setup and an abrasive surface for edge refinement Edge orientation and grip are specified to minimize risk during use How to use (rewritten for clarity) Method 3 Hold the holder so that the leather blade faces up and the blade edge faces down and away from the leather Push the back of the blade upward toward the leather blade Repeat this step using the opposite guides, with pulling actions in alternation for 10 strokes total Handle the blade carefully in your hand during all steps Usage 1 Place the flat side on the rail closest to the handle so the blade rests on the abrasive surface Push the blade away from the abrasive Repeat this step on the corresponding rail, turning the blade toward the abrasive and pulling it along the abrasive in alternating passes for 5–10 strokes Method 2 Turn the knob so that the fine (smooth) side rises Place the flat on the guide cabinet with the edge resting on the bar Push the edge away from the abrasive, then repeat along the length of the abrasive Alternate the edge toward and along the abrasive using the opposite guides, with 5 strokes on each side Use scenarios and practical applications Leather blade maintenance: Use the guided strokes to refine the blade edge evenly along the abrasive surface, ensuring consistent contact and control Tool blade sharpening in woodworking: Employ the rail and guide cabinet system to create uniform passes, improving edge quality and extending blade life Edge finishing for precision blades: Utilize the alternate guide setup to balance edge exposure, achieving a cleaner, more precise edge on both sides Notes on performance and safety Follow the stated stroke counts (5–10 per side, or 10 alternating strokes in Method 3) to maintain consistency Keep the blade securely in hand and maintain alignment with the guides and rails throughout use Use the appropriate method based on the blade type, rail configuration, and abrasive being used
