We appreciate the kudos Grepper and can only say that it was our pleasure in lending a hand. Of course we also ended up with a Grepper knife guide in the process. Here's a couple of quick shots showing it mounted on our Kally.
There are, likely, several members of this Exchange who might not benefit greatly from a device like this. Apparently their skill at holding a precise knife angle across a sanding belt greatly exceeds our ability to do the same. For us, this is "Sharpening for Dummies" and enables us to create remarkably reproducible edges in very little time. These edges are not only reproducible in our shop but also across state lines. Using the same grinding process we achieve, almost exactly, the same BESS scores that Grepper does. Here's a picture taken from an email we recently sent Grepper.
The caption under the picture read "Boring isn't it?"
Congratulations to Grepper! No one, more than us, better understands the thought, work and time that he put into this project.
