If you’re not going to buy a quality honing guide like the Lie Nielsen or Veritas or Richard Kell (http://richardkell.co.uk/honingECom.htm) then be sure to modify the cheap eclipse-style honing guide.

Having said that, a quality honing guide is just not that expensive a purchase, and it will last you for the rest of your life. If they were 500 euros, OK, too expensive, but the Veritas is what, 70 bucks? And a cheapo is 15 bucks? So for a difference of 55 bucks over the course of your entire life, I don’t see the value in skimping on something as critical as your sharpening gear, which you’re going to use across multiple tools, multiple times per day.
