In Response To: Tools: Necessary Tools for Sharpening (Gregory)

I bought the combo set a couple of years ago. I used the angle setting tool maybe once, but haven't bothered since then. I only use the honing guide. I found that the existing bevel on the iron I'm sharpening sets my angle more easily. So the guide gets regular use, but the jig doesn't.
Hope that helps.
