Personally I like the old eclipse type honing guide easiest to use.
The honing guide Paul has shown is basically a copy of the eclipse guide and pretty inexpensive.
You can use Eclipse guide on a slightly cambered edge by putting more pressure on either side of the blade.
The only time I really use guide is when doing scary sharpening and maybe on water stones.
I prefer free hand sharpening.
Eddy keep us posted how you get on with community workshop 😉
