The Metaltech MTWS250 wet sharpener and the matching 5 piece jig set, bought together in one order. The sharpener puts a true, cool-ground edge on your steel; the jigs are what let you hold knives, scissors and axes at a repeatable angle while you do it. Buy the two together and you are set up for everything on the bench, not just chisels and plane irons.
On its own the MTWS250 comes with a universal tool support and an adjustable angle guide, which is all you need for straight-edged gear like chisels and plane blades. The moment you put a kitchen knife, a pair of garden shears or an axe head on it, you need something to hold the work square to the stone at a fixed angle — that is exactly what the MTWS250-JIG 5 piece jig set does. Freehanding those tools on a wet wheel is how you round an edge and lose the bevel. With the jigs fitted, the same angle comes back every single time, so the edge you set in January is the edge you get back in June.
A precision wet sharpening system for edge tools — chisels, plane irons, blades and cutting tools. The water bath keeps the stone cool so you never draw the temper out of good steel, and the leather honing wheel takes it from ground to polished.
