: My rig: Brian Burns jig (love it),

Ken-
That's what I use (now) as well.
I spent a week studying with Brian Burns-excellent teacher and classic nice guy.
My Veritas jig went off to Craigslist once I had Brian's setup.
I've used a few different honing guides (including the on-stone Eclipse which is the source for the knockoffs), and the Burns setup has them beat, IMO.

If you can find an old General 810 or similar jig, you can DIY the Burns setup, though Brian's is much superior to the General.
